2.2.1 Where is the castle on the cover of "The Unforgettable Fire"? (U2)

[GD] The castle on The Unforgettable Fire is NOT Slane Castle. The album
was partly recorded at Slane Castle,
but the castle on the cover is called Moydrum and is in county West
Meath.

[CB] However, the castle on the back sleeve of the album is yet another
castle. This is called Carrickgogunnel,
in County Tipperary.

[H] Following a fire, Slane Castle is currently undergoing very slow
repairs but it has been host to some gigs
since the fire. There are some musically unconnected details including a
B&W JPG at:
