Finding castle ruins in Ireland is quite easy - they are all over the countryside. The problem is first in finding what they were named - they may be known historically by one name and locally by another or changed names more than once over the centuries.

  The second problem is trying to find accurate histories on them. Often times I can find information but it conflicts with other information. Because of this I can not swear to the accuracy of the information here. If you have conflicting information (or any for that matter!) on any of these castles please send it to me for inclusion in these pages.
