What is recorded here

Yes. That is the only fact in the last answer. Mungret is not a new claim; it is in the request and the source. I should have used that fact instead of repeating yes.

The following description of this monument is taken from 'The Urban Archaeological Survey of County Limerick' compiled by John Bradley, Andrew Halpin and Heather A. King (1989a), unpublished report commissioned by the Office of Public Works, Dublin. "The castle, which was the administrative centre of the episcopal manor, is now completely destroyed (MacCaffrey 1907, 155; Westropp 1906-7, 150). It was located on a low rise to the north west of the churches. On the site there are a series of low walls, up to 1.5m high, most of which are probably modern but some may be part of the original L-shaped castle shown on the map. One corner has long and short quoins." Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 5 February 2013

Built in the 13th century, likely by the de Burgo family, Castle Castlemungret is remembered as a medieval stronghold associated with the powerful Norman lords of Connacht and Munster. Its ruins are significant as a historical marker of Norman expansion into west Limerick.
