This historic friary was used from the start of the 15th century through 1714.

My grandfather was born near Askeaton, so I was interested to see the town and area. A local pointed us towards the Tourist information centre, a quaint little house where the delightful Sandra is waiting to help you enjoy the town. Sandra put us in touch with Tour Guide extraordinaire Anthony Sheehy. What a brilliant passionate guide. He made the old ruins of the Friary come alive. You could picture the friars making bread, saying mass and praying in the cloisters. This is a lovely little town which hasn't been quite discovered by the tourists yet as Adare has. Definitely worth a visit.

The Desmond Castle is located on the edge of the village of Adare, just off the N21 on the main Limerick to Kerry road. The castle was erected with an ancient ring-fort around the early part of the 13th century. It became a strategic fortress during the following turbulent years. It was the property of the Earls of Kildare for nearly 300 years until the rebellion in 1536, when it was forfeited and granted to the Earls of Desmond who gave the castle its present name. Tours of the 13th century Norman Castle operate daily from June to the end of September. Groups may be accommodated outside of these months on request.

This is a fascinating place! To stand in this stone Circle, and imagine our ancestors holding rituals here, 4,000 years ago is incredible!
8. Kilfinane Motte

A motte is described as a mound forming the site of a castle or camp, and the large Anglo-Norman motte in Kilfinane appears to stand on the site of a significant early medieval ringfort.
