Why this spot
13th century walled town abandoned in the 14th century
Town built between about 1200 and 1250 on a headland in Lough Ree, with a castle thought to date from 1227 built by Geoffrey de Marisco. It was sacked during the Gaelic resurgence of the late 13th and early 14th centuries and then completely abandoned.View source →
