For reasons of age and available time, my website has been vastly reduced in size – and the blog – alas, is no more. However, details of “Irish Follies and Whimsical Architecture”, and earlier books can still be found by clicking on the image below: which will be changed each weekend. Enjoy !
Echoes of the past arise,
Time’s quiet secrets.
Dungarvan Castle dates from the early days of the Anglo-Norman settlement in Ireland to safeguard the entrance to Dungarvan Harbour. Within the walls, the two-storey military barracks dates from the first half of the eighteenth century and was used by the British Army and the Royal Irish Constabulary until 1922. During the Irish Civil War Dungarvan Castle was destroyed by the Anti-Treaty IRA. It was subsequently refurbished and served as the Headquarters of the local Garda Síochana.
