What is recorded here

Laragh Castle stands as a ruined southern wall on a Westmeath ridge, preserving the triangular shadow of a much older ringfort beneath its later stone. Melaghlin, Lord of Kenaleagh, bled inside these rooms in 1478, while Connla Bui Geoghegan watched the final floors collapse into silence. The dropped eastern floor and narrowed walls still hint at cellar darkness and upper chambers where ordinary people once lived above the danger.

Laragh Castle is recorded as a castle in County Westmeath. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.

Laragh Castle was built in the 17th century by the Blake family, who were prominent landowners in the area. It is remembered as a historic family seat and an example of early Irish country house architecture.
