DOVE HILL CASTLE
Dove Hill Castle is a 14th century tower or keep, erected by the Normans to keep watch on the river which was the main access route at that time. It was in the possession of Connel O’ More, a native Irish Chieftain in 1348.In 1542 it was garrisoned by Sir Thomas Butler of Cahir,but later taken back by the Earl of Ormond.
A century later it seems that its 6 occupiers were massacred after failing to understand and surrender to Lord Inchiquin who was marching on Carrick after it had been captured by Cromwellian troops.
