Castle

What is recorded here

Skreen Castle in County Meath is a layered house where an eighteenth-century block, a late medieval tower house and nineteenth-century castellated additions still stand together inside one demesne. It is not a ruined fantasy or a smooth new palace; it is a place where older stone was kept alive by repeated rebuilding. The castle stands near Adam de Fergo's motte and castle, so the land carries more than one era of power. To walk its walled garden is to meet several centuries at once.
