  1. Kilkee Castle

    Share Share Post
    The Castle known as Kilkee Castle was on the top of the hill behind the West End Hotel. The site can still be seen.
    It is said that Kilkee Castle and Carrigaholt Castle were both used as granaries for Cromwells soldiers, in 1767.
    It is also said that Ireton Cromwell son- in- law came to Carrigaholt Castle. Crossing the Slob he got wet and developed a serious illness and died soon after in Limerick.
    After the death of Charles McDonnell his widow lived in the tower of the Castle until her death.
