Castle

What is recorded here

Latteragh Castle has guarded the mountainous edge of North Tipperary since at least 1254, when William de Marisicis drew traders into its shadow for Thursday markets. Its thick circular keep and scarped platform still rise above the hills, marking a place where power, trade and survival became entangled. Much later, a ruined castle and barbican remained when Sir John Morres held the land, suggesting that greatness there did not disappear so much as it stopped being maintained.
Latteragh Castle is recorded as a castle in County Tipperary. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
Latteragh Castle was built by the Fitzgerald family, the Geraldines, in the 15th century. It is remembered as a significant medieval stronghold in County Tipperary, reflecting the power and influence of the Fitzgeralds in the region during the late Middle Ages.
