Stop here! Important landmark of Ireland’s history. If not familiar with King Brian Boru, read Morgan Llywelyn’s LION OF IRELAND.

Amazing place. Steeped in history. Well worth having a read about it. Wikipedia has a great write up. Photos don't do justice to the scale of the place and depth of the moat. Fortunately we walked out to it as there's only parking for a couple of cars across from the entrance. Not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs as its a turnstile entrance. Wonderful views...
