A castle built by Hugh de Lacy in 1180 to defend the river crossing, [15] [17] rebuilt by John de Clahull in 1181, [16] and once again rebuilt in 1547 by Edward Bellingham after its destruction in the 14th century by the Cavanaghs. The castle was sacked again by Cromwellian forces under Colonel Hewson in 1650 during the Irish Confederate Wars. [18]
