Leighlin Bridge Castle.

This edifce was erected in 1181, either
by Hugh De Lacy, or by John De Cla-
hull, or De Claville, to whom De Lacy
gave the marshalshlp of all Leinster,
and the land between Aghavoe and
Leighlin. From minute description
of the remains of this castle, given by
Ryan in his History and Antiquities of
Carlow, it appears that it was con-
structed on the Norman plan, and con-
sisted of a quadrangular enclosure 3l5
feet in length and 234 feet in width, sur
rounded by wall seven feet thick, with
q fosse on the exterior of three sides OF
the enclosure, and the river on the
fourth. Of this wall the western side
only is now in existence. The keep or
great tower of this fortress is situated
on the northwestern angle Of the square,
and is of an oblong torn, and about
fifty feet in height. 1t is much dilapid-
ated; but one floor resting on an arch
remains, to which there is an ascent by
stone steps, as there is to the top, which
is completely covered over with ivy,
planted by the present possessors Of the
castle. At the other, or southwest angle
of the enclosure, are the remains of q
lesser tower, which is of a rotund form
and of great strength, the walls being
ten feet thick. 1t is still more dilapid.
ated than the great keep. and is only "a
feet high, having a fight Of steps lead
ing to its summit. During, the Confed.
crate war the castle was garrisoned by
the national troops for 9 time but was
surrendered to the Parliam ntarians in
1850.
