What is recorded here
Castleruddery Motte is a Hiberno-Norman earthwork built in the late 12th century to guard a river crossing in the Slaney Valley. Its round shape and earthen bank still mark the slope where a borough later grew beside episcopal lands. The site remains a national monument, preserving the moment when martial control and church authority became entangled in County Wicklow.
Castleruddery Motte is recorded as a archaeological place in County Wicklow. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
