Garryhill Castle Historic Buildings
During the last decade of the fourteenth century, Art
Oge McMurragh (King of Leinster) lived at Garryhill. His house would
have been built of wooden structure "of clay and wattle made", the roof
would have been thatched and surrounded by a kraal-like compound,
housing a sizeable community of friends and followers. In 1394, Richard
II lost his patience with Art, who had been a thorn in the side of the
English for years, and decided to attack. Richard an his great army
crossed the Barrow at Leighlinbridge, and Garryhill was captured, and
went up in flames. Art and his wife were caught by surprise but escaped
into the woods. In 1394, Richard II said goodbye to Garryhill to return
to England.
