What is recorded here
Ballinalacken Castle was built by the O'Brien dynasty, the historic rulers of Thomond, in the 15th or 16th century. It is remembered as a minor but strategically located stronghold in County Clare, reflecting the broader pattern of Gaelic Irish castle-building during the late medieval period.
