• RO020-003001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  On the W shore of Lough Glinn. Traditionally regarded as a castle of the FitzGeralds of Mayo (Grosse, 1791, vol. 2, 53-4; Weld 1832, 300-1; Lewis 1837, 2, 599), an extensive estate centred on Loughglinn was accumulated by Theobald Dillon, a descendent of the Sir James Dillon of Proudstown, Co. Meath, and connected with the Dillon families of Westmeath. In 1582 he entered government service in Connaught and used his position to accumulate land. Theobald died in 1624 when his second son, Sir Lucas Dillon, inherited the Loughglinn estate and held extensive lands by c. 1635 (Mac Dermot 1996, 397-8) when the castle, which may have been built by the Dillons, was owned by him (Simington 1949, 158). Described as a castle with a tower at each angle, only two were left in the 18th century, and only one survives to-day. The W part of an ivy-covered three-storey circular tower (int. diam. 3m; H c. 10m; T 1m) with three gun-loops at the ground floor and simple rectangular windows on the upper floors which are rectangular in plan internally. Stones from the castle, including an inscribed plaque (RO020-007003-), are said to have been used to build Loughglinn House, c. 1km to the E.
