• DU022-023001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Dundrum castle is situated S-SW of the village on an E-facing ridge which overlooks the Slang River. This late 16th to early 17th century tower house built by Sir Thomas Fitzgerald incorporates part of a 13th/14th century castle (DU022-023002-). It rises to three storeys with parapet level marked by a string course. Built largely of randomly coursed granite blocks with dressed limestone used in window and door jambs. Entered at the S end of the E wall through a later doorway with rough hammer-dressed jambs under a segmental arch. The door is rebated and bolt holes are visible.

• DU022-023002 Castle - Anglo-Norman masonry castle
  Description

  Situated on top of an E facing ridge overlooking the river Slang. Dundrum Castle is a late 16th-17th century tower house (DU022-023001-) which incorporates part of a 12th-14th-century castle exposed during excavations in 1988-91 (O'Brien 1987, 14; O' Brien 1989, 136-137). Built by Sir John de Clahull c. 1187, the earliest feature exposed is a section of fosse (Wth 7m, D 1.40m) that enclosed the top of the ridge. Finds included Leinster cooking ware, a buckle and a socketed arrowhead. Associated with this moat was a triple-slotted drawbridge with an entrance to a gatehouse extending from the drawbridge to part of the outer wall of the early castle (Wth 2m). Part of a stone-lined watercourse runs under the base of the wall and the shaft of a garderobe was revealed within the wall.
