What is recorded here

Glenquin Castle is a five-storey tower house standing on a rocky platform in County Limerick, where local tradition credits the O'Hallinan clan with building it around 1462 before it passed through O'Brien, Desmond and Crown hands. Its vaulted chambers, spiral stair and murder hole still expose the brutal practicality of late medieval life, while centuries of repair have kept the structure visible above the ravine. The castle remains a sharp reminder that ownership in Ireland has always been taken, rewritten and contested.
