Sometime ago a question was raised about castles in Ireland. The request was for a list of such castles. I bought a book, Castles and Stronghouses of Ireland, which features 350 buildings which the author, Mike Salter, chose from the 2,500 or so fortified buildings of the period 1180-1680 known to have existed in Ireland. The most notable buildings are included. He suggests that readers use the Ordance Survey 1:126,720 scale maps to find monuments in the provinces. Grid references are given in the gazeteers. He included maps of each of the provinces with dots to indicate the location of the castles. If you Email me privately, I will lookup your castle but you must have some firm tradition linking your ancestors to it. Ellen
