Замок Кулхілл

Замок Кулхілл (англ. Coolhill Castle, ірл. Caisleán na Cúlchoille) — кашлен на Кулхойлле — один із замків Ірландії, розташований в графстві Кілкенні. Нині замок Кулхілл є пам'яткою історії та архітектури Ірландії національного значення. Замок стоїть на відстані 1,3 милі на північний схід від селища Ровер, на скелі, біля стародавнього кургану, на берегах річки Барроу. Географічні координати замку: 52,464929°N 6,932205°W Історія замку Кулхілл Замок Кулхілл був побудований у ХІІІ столітті англо-норманськими феодалами після завоювання Ірландії для захисту завойованих земель від ірландських кланів. Замок збудував лицар Анрі де Руп (де Рош, де Роч) — лицар норманського походження, що володів землями Кулхілл в 1318 році. Але ірландські клани постійно нападали на замки і володіння англо-норманських феодалів, намагаючись повернути собі свої споконвічні землі. Ірландський ватажок Арт Ог мак Мурхада Каоманах (ірл. — Art Óg mac Murchadha Caomhánach) захопив замок Кулхілл і довгий час його утримував. У 1595—1604 році в Ірландії йшла так звана Дев'ятирічна війна в Ірландії. Ірландські ватажки воювали за незалежність Ірландії проти англійської армії та англійських колоністів-протестантів. У 1600 році на замок Кулхілл, яким тоді володів ірландський ватажок де Руп (нащадок норманських лицарів де Руп, що давно «ірландизувався» і тепер був на стороні борців за незалежність Ірландії і був католиком) напали англійські солдати під командою Де ла Пера. Під час нападу було вбито 30 місцевих жителів, що намагалися сховатися в замку. Після остаточного завоювання Ірландії Англією замок перейшов у володіння родини Маунтгаррет. Сталося це в 1621 році. Але під час повстання за незалежність Ірландії 1641 році родина Маунтгаррет підтримала повстанців. Після придушення повстання Олівером Кромвелем замок та маєток Кулхілл був конфіскований у власників у 1652 році. Нині від замку лишилися руїни. Руїни являють собою залишки двох веж — круглої та квадратної. У вежах є бійниці, нависаючі стрільниці. Одна з бійниць захищає вхід в замок. Гвинтові сходи вели на верхні поверхи замку. На першому поверсі були кімнати з великими нішами. Між поверхами були склепіння. На другому поверсі був великий камін. На третьому поверсі був камін, кімнати і сходи на дах. Були круглі та хрестоподібні вікна. Джерела «Coolhill Castle — Ireland by Chance». Harrison, Peter (1 January 2004). «Castles of God: Fortified Religious Buildings of the World».

Thomastown Church

Thomastown Church is a medieval church and National Monument in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Location Thomastown Church is located in the centre of Thomastown, immediately behind the Protestant Church and north of the River Nore. History The church was founded by Thomas FitzAnthony, a Cambro-Norman knight who was granted land here in 1215 by John, King of England and Lord of Ireland. It belonged to Inistioge Augustinian Priory (est. 1210). It may also have had Dominican associations. After the Reformation the nave was modified for use by the Anglican Church of Ireland. In 1809 the present Church of Ireland church was built on the site of the south aisle which was restored and converted for use as a private dwelling 2003-2004. Church Thomastown Church was built as a nave and chancel with north and south aisles. The ruins today consist of the north aisle arcade (five arches with quatrefoil pillars, decorated capitals and clerestory) the west gable and a fragment of the crossing tower. References
Duncannon Fort

Duncannon Fort is a star fort and National Monument located in County Wexford, Ireland. Location Duncannon Fort is located in a strategic position on a peninsula in the eastern part of Waterford Harbour, giving access to Ireland's Three Sisters: the River Barrow, River Nore and River Suir. History A fort was built on this site by Normans in the 12th century, and there may have been an earlier earthen fort built by Gaelic Irish. The present star fort was built in 1587–88 by Queen Elizabeth I to defend Waterford from possible invasion by the Spanish Armada. Duncannon Fort saw major military action during the Irish Confederate Wars. Commanded by the Royalist governor Laurence Esmonde, 1st Baron Esmonde, it was besieged and captured by Irish Catholic Confederation forces under Thomas Preston, 1st Viscount Tara in January–March 1645, the first time that mortars were used in Ireland. Oliver Cromwell failed to retake Duncannon in 1649, but it surrendered in 1650 after a blockade led by Henry Ireton. In 1690, the fort hosted two kings. After the Battle of the Boyne and seeing little prospect of continuing his campaign, King James II fled to Duncannon and on 3 July sailed from there to Kinsale before departing for exile in France. Later that year, King William III stayed at the fort in September 1690 when bad weather delayed his return to England. The site where James' boat departed bears the name "King James' Hole." A lighthouse was constructed in 1774 and remains in use. The fort at Duncannon (commanded by William Fawcett) was one of the few places in County Wexford that did not fall under United Irishmen (Rebel) control during the 1798 Rebellion; the fort and town thus became a sanctuary for fleeing loyalists and troops in south Wexford and was also used as a prison and place of execution for rebels, from which it gained infamy as the Croppy Boy's site of execution in the song "The Croppy Boy." A force sent out from the fort to defend Wexford town was defeated at the Battle of Three Rocks. Duncannon continued to be used as a fort by the British Army, being handed over to the Irish National Army only to burn down in 1922 during the Irish Civil War. It was occasionally used by the FCÁ (Army Reserve) for summer camps before being given to Wexford County Council in 1993 and later opening as a museum. Fort Duncannon Fort is a star fort. Along the sides were guns facing upriver and downriver. On the west end were artillery batteries facing across the entire inlet. The landward defences had an angled redan projecting from the centre of the front, a deep ditch and a medieval wall. Primitive caponiers protect the ditch, and each counterscarp gallery had a sally port so that the garrison could enter the ditch without being seen. A nearby hill, Windmill Hill, would offer a perfect site to bombard the fort. Recognising this, the English raised the east wall in 1606 to guard against this. References
St. Mary's Church, New Ross

St. Mary's Church is a medieval church and National Monument in New Ross, Ireland. Location St. Mary's Church is located on Mary Street, New Ross, on the east bank of the River Barrow. History Abbán built a monastery in the New Ross area in the 6th century, possibly on the site where St. Mary's was later built. St. Mary's was completed in 1210 and was founded by William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke or his wife Isabel de Clare, a daughter of Strongbow. The bells were stolen in 1654 by a Lieut.-Col. Beale, during the Irish Confederate Wars. Divine Service was performed at St. Mary's until 1811 or 1812, when the west aisle was demolished to make room for the modern church. Many stories are associated locally with the ruins, including one about a soldier who entered the "Black Hole" under an archway with his dog; only the dog returned. In another, a man who attempted to take the cross out of the old chancel had his brains dashed out. Church The present Church of Ireland building occupies the site of the nave of the old building; only the chancel and transepts survive. The chancel has an aumbry, sedilia, piscina, tomb canopy and two doorways: one transitional and one Gothic. There are three lancet windows in the east gable. The old chancel and the north and south transepts contain one of Ireland's largest collections of medieval funerary. One features a cross with Lamb of God, symbolism associated with the Knights Templar. Another rarity is a woman buried next to both of her husbands, a rarity in the Middle Ages.

Lisnaran Fort

Lisnaran Fort is a ringfort (rath) and National Monument located in County Louth, Ireland. Location Lisnaran Fort is located outside Annagassan, near the meeting-point of the River Glyde and River Dee. History Lisnaran contains the remains of circular and a rectangular structures, and may have featured more extensive defences outside the main enclosure. It was historically associated with the Viking longphort Linn Duachaill, but the combination of a hillfort with round and rectangular structures suggests a Gaelic Irish origin. The only find at Lisnaran was a wooden box in 1928, containing twelve silver pennies, all dating from 1279–1315 and from the reign of Edward I or Edward II as Lord of Ireland. References
The Mint

The Mint (irisch An Mionta – dt. die Münzstätte) ist ein befestigtes Haus und ein Nationaldenkmal in der Tholsel Street, im Süden von Carlingford (irisch Cairlinn) im County Louth in Irland. Das auch als Turmhaus bezeichnete Gebäude (eher ein Wohnturm) leitet seinen Namen von der 1467 von Edward IV. an Carlingford erteilten Lizenz ab, Münzen zu prägen. Das Haus stammt jedoch aus späterer Zeit. Es wird angenommen, dass es einer wohlhabenden Kaufmannsfamilie (vielleicht den Marmions) gehörte. Die Stärke der Mauern und das Fehlen einer Feuerstelle deuten an, dass es als Münze gedient haben könnte. Dagegen spricht, dass nie eine in Carlingford geprägte Münze gefunden wurde. Das Gebäude ist drei Stockwerke hoch und besteht überwiegend aus Kalkstein. Auf dem Dach befindet sich ein Zinnenkranz mit Schießscharten. Ein Eingang zur Straße ist auf Dachhöhe durch eine Pechnase geschützt. Die durch Eisengitter geschützten Spitzbogenfenster des Erdgeschosses und des ersten Stocks (insgesamt fünf) sind mit Flachreliefs versehen: Der Büste eines Mannes, eines Pferdes, eines Vogels, einer Schlange und keltischen Flechtornamenten, die ein Aufleben der keltischen Kunst im 15. Jahrhundert spiegeln. Sie haben auch Haubenleisten und Gekuppelte Fenster (englisch hood mould und englisch mullions). The Mint ist das kleinste der drei befestigten Bauwerke in Carlingford. Die anderen beiden sind King John’s Castle und die Ruine Taaffe’s Castle. Literatur William F. K. Marmion: Irish knighthoods and related subjects: an anthology of published works.

The Mint (Carlingford)

The Mint is a fortified house and National Monument located in Carlingford, County Louth, Ireland. Location The Mint is located in the southern part of Carlingford, 120 m (390 ft) southwest of Carlingford Lough. History This castle, variously called a fortified house or tower house, derived its name from the license to mint coins granted to Carlingford in 1467 by Edward IV. However, the present tower comes from later, either the 15th or 16th century. It is believed to have housed one of Carlingford's wealthy merchant families (perhaps the Marmions); however, the lack of a fireplace and the strength of the defences suggest that it may indeed have served as a mint. Against this is the fact that no coin minted at Carlingford has ever been found. Building The Mint is three storeys high and made mainly of limestone. There is a battlemented chemin de ronde on the roof, with loopholes for muskets. A doorway is protected by machicolation. The ground and first storey ogee windows (five in total) face onto the street, with carvings of a horse, a bust of a man, a bird, a snake and Celtic interlace ornament which reflects a revival of interest in Celtic art in the 15th–16th centuries. They also have hood mouldings and mullions. References
Cahermore (Burren)

Das Dun von Cahermore (irisch An Chathair Mhór, dt. „der große Ort“) liegt im Townland Ballyallaban im Burren im County Clare in Irland. Die nur teilweise erhaltenen Mauern des (wie der Name Cahermore besagt) Großen Steinforts von etwa 50 m Durchmesser sind bis zu 2,8 m dick und stellenweise ebenso hoch erhalten. Sie sind aus zwei Lagen von großen gut angepassten Blöcken gebaut. Der Türsturz über dem Eingang des Dun und die Überreste von Gebäuden im Inneren scheinen jedoch mittelalterlich zu sein. Der Name Cahermore ist im Westen Irlands häufig. Caher ist die anglisierte Form der irischen Wortes cathair (was in einigen Regionen der Insel Dun bzw. Steinfort bedeutet). Außerhalb des Eingangs finden sich Ruinen, die zu einem Souterrain gehören. In der Nähe liegen der Rath Ballyallaban und das Inland-Promontory Fort von Cahercommaun.

Cahermore ringfort

Cahermore ringfort (Irish: Cathair Mór) or sometimes Caher Mór or "Ballyallaban stone fort" is a ringfort south of Ballyvaughan in the Burren area, in County Clare, Ireland. It is a National Monument. Location The fort lies right next to the R480 road between the village of Ballyvaughan and Leamaneh Castle. It is located in the townland of Ballyallaban in the civil parish of Rathborney. Description The walls are up to 9 feet thick and 9 feet high, with two faces of large, well-fitted blocks with rubble filled in between. The lintel and building remains inside the fort are considered late medieval features. Next to the entryway are guard chambers, which could indicate that the former inhabitants were of high status. The national monument number 648 actually consists of two separate forts: the stone fort of Cahermore and the nearby earthen Ballyallaban ringfort. Excavation A limited excavation occurred after the lintel stone fell down in the late 1990s. A coin from 1690 was found. According to the National Monuments Service: "Excavation (Licence no. 99E0506) in this area took place in June 1999 as the entranceway was blocked with rubble and the lintel had fallen across the entrance passage. The excavations revealed that the structures around the entrance were a 14th/15th-century addition to the pre-existing fort. A scallop shell from below the foundations was radiocarbon dated to AD 1308. The lintel was replaced and the entranceway was consolidated in 2001."

Dún Dealgan Motte

Dún Dealgan Motte is a motte and National Monument in Dundalk, Ireland. Location Dún Dealgan Motte is located immediately northwest of Dundalk and west of Mount Avenue, on a ridge overlooking the Castletown River. History and archaeology Motte An ancient Gaelic Irish dún once stood here. Some legends claim the site as the birthplace of Cú Chulainn, and it is here that he bases himself in the Táin Bó Cúailgne. The Annals of the Four Masters places a battle here in 500 AD. Early accounts merely call it Dealga, with dún only added after 1002, so it's possible that a fort was only built on the hill around that time. A Z-shaped souterrain, 17 m (56 ft) in length, was also dug into the hill in the Gaelic period. Motte-and-bailey castles were a primitive type of castle built after the Norman invasion, a mound of earth topped by a wooden palisade and tower. The motte and bailey castle was built on a mound of earth c. 68m in diameter at the base and 10m in height, allowing the tower on top to have a commanding view for miles, including a clear line of sight to the Castletown River and towards the northern route from Ulster. Dún Dealgan motte is believed to have been constructed by Bertram III de Verdun (c.1135–1192), with a bailey to the southeast. It was a stronghold of Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster, in 1210, but he left it when pursued northwards by King John of England. Folly A local landowner named Patrick Byrne (often called a pirate, due to much of his wealth originating from smuggling) began to build a Gothic house atop the mount in 1780. It was damaged in the 1798 Rebellion, and only a castellated tower ("Byrne's Folly") remained. The house was rebuilt in 1850 by Thomas Vesey Dawson as a country retreat, but fell into disrepair and was bought by the County Louth Archaeological and Historical Society to be used for a museum. It was further damaged in the revolutionary period (1919–23) when it was deliberately set on fire by armed men. References
Замок Кастлтаун

Замок Кастлтаун (англ. Cú Chulainn's Castle, Castletown Motte, Castletown Mount, Byrne's Folly, ірл. Dún Dealgan Motte, Móta Dhún Dealgan) — Замок Кухуліна, замок Дун Делган, Мота Дун Делган — один із замків Ірландії, розташований в графстві Лаут, на північний захід від міста Дандалк. Нині це пам'ятка історії та архітектури Ірландії національного значення. Історія замку Дун Делган На місці нинішнього замку Кастлтаун чи Дун Делган колись ще в часи залізної доби стояла так звана кельтська кругла фортеця — дун. Згідно давніх ірландських легенд саме тут була батьківщина героя Кухуліна — героя епосу «Викрадення бика з Куальнге». Згідно «Літопису Чотирьох Майстрів» тут біля 500 року відбулась велика битва. У давніх літописах цю фортецю називали просто Делга. Дун Делга фортенця стала називатися з 1002 року. Зберігся величезний насип ч то курган з плоскою вершиною висотою 10 м, оточений ровом. Діаметр споруди 97 м. Час побудови цієї споруди невідомий — це губиться в глибині праісторії. Так званий «Стоячий камінь» датується бронзовою добою. Цей моноліт зберігся в полі недалеко від замку Дун Делган. Біля замку був знайдений вхід до штучної печери (нині заблокований). Після англо-норманського завоювання Ірландії завойовники використали фортецю для захисту захоплених земель від непокірних ірландських кланів. Нормани побудували тут дерев'яний замок типу «мотт-і-бейлі». Потім ця фортеця була зруйнована і надовго закинута. У 1780 році місцевий торговець Патрік Берн збудував тут замок у псевдоготичному стилі. Пізніше курган був озеленений і заріс лісом.

Mannan Castle

Mannan Castle is a motte-and-bailey and National Monument located in Donaghmoyne Townland, Tullynacross, on site of the Mannan Castle Golf Club, in County Monaghan, Ireland. Location Mannan Castle is located on mannan Castle Golf Club, on a south-facing slope of a limestone drumlin ridge about 3 km (1.9 mi) northeast of Carrickmacross. History This site is believed to have been the ancient capital of Airgíalla (Oriel), a kingdom originating sometime in the pre-Christian era (according to semi-mythical accounts, it was founded by The Three Collas in AD 331). A motte-and-bailey was constructed in 1193 by the powerful Anglo-Norman Pipard family (Sir Roger Pipard, c.1136 – before 1225), to consolidate their hold over the region. They first built a wooden castle. This site was not necessarily chosen for its military or defensive usefulness but for reasons of prestige. By building atop an ancient Gaelic Irish capital, the Norman conquest of Ireland was made clear. In 1227 the Pipard lands were entrusted to Ralph Fitz Nicholas. He began to strengthen Mannan Castle; it was burned by the Irish in 1230 and replaced by a stone castle in 1244. Various local legends attach to the castle; one claims that the mortar was made with animal blood and this is why a stone cannot be dislodged from the wall. Another connects the name with a druid named Manann, although the early names are derived from Irish maighean ("of the plain"). The first archaeological survey of the site was carried out in 1910 by Henry Morris. Later excavations found large amounts of iron slag, pottery, iron nails and ironworking tools in the southern part of the bailey. Building Mannan Castle is a motte (12.5 m high) and inner bailey connected by a causeway with a ditch and an outer bailey without a ditch. The stone ruins of a keep are atop the motte. References
