What is recorded here

Enniskillen Castle has watched the river since 1428 when Hugh Maguire raised its first stones. It has absorbed sieges, massacres, rebellions and barracks, yet it still stands with its Scottish-flavoured Watergate and small turrets. Today the castle holds the Fermanagh County Museum and the Inniskillings Museum, inviting visitors to walk through layers of violence, memory and everyday life.
Enniskillen Castle is recorded as a castle in County Fermanagh. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
Enniskillen Castle was built in the late 16th century by the English forces under the command of Sir Henry Bagenal during the Tudor conquest of Ireland. It is important as a key stronghold in the control of Ulster and as a symbol of English military and administrative presence in the region.
