Carlow Castle

Carlow Castle is placed near to the River Barrow in County Carlow, Ireland. It became built among 1207 and 1213, and is a National Monument of Ireland. The earliest written file of this fort is from 1231 but it does not name its builder. It is extensively assumed that the fortress changed into constructed by means of William Marshal the elder inside the term between 1207 and 1213 which he spent in Ireland. The castle in Carlow was the very first of its type in Ireland, a towered preserve, in which a huge square tower is surrounded by means of 4 smaller 3-area-round towers on the corners of the rectangle. However, there had been doubts that the fort in Carlow supported the traditional characteristic of a maintain, i.e., to function a safe haven of closing hotel.

Instead it intentionally diverted from the present day wellknown in England and continental Europe, i.e. There's no towered curtain, no gate house, and no undivided high-quality hall. Similar castles of the same length have been erected in Ferns, Lea, and Terryglass. The inner castle had three storeys and timber became used for the top storeys. The lengthy west wall provided stairways and latrines. The latter suggests that the gap become divided. The entrance door become inside the first floor but is now broken out.
