What is recorded here

Dundrum castle is situated S-SW of the village on an E-facing ridge which overlooks the Slang River. This late 16th to early 17th century tower house built by Sir Thomas Fitzgerald incorporates part of a 13th/14th century castle (DU022-023002-). It rises to three storeys with parapet level marked by a string course. Built largely of randomly coursed granite blocks with dressed limestone used in window and door jambs. Entered at the S end of the E wall through a later doorway with rough hammer-dressed jambs under a segmental arch. The door is rebated and bolt holes are visible.
