The castle was built in 1480 by Diarmaid O’Dea. It was badly damaged by Cromwellian forces in 1651. It is close to the site of the 1318 Battle of Dysert O’Dea, where Norman overlord Richard de Clare was defeated and killed by Murtagh O’Brien, king of Thomond and his allies the O’Deas. The castle now houses a museum.
