Geocache Description:


Terryland Castle

 

Welcome to terryland castle.

 

The present castle at Terryland is in fact a fortified house of early 17th century date. It was the property of the Earls of Clanricard, descendants of the De Burgos who came to Galway in the 13th century.

It was garrisoned during the 1641 Rebellion and again during the Cromwellian Wars in 1652. It was occupied by a joint force of Irish and French troops who defended the outworks of the castle against the approaching Williamite army in 1691. After a short defence and a skirmish, the Franco-Irish force burnt the castle and retreated into Galway city.
