Rathcoffey Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Clane Maynooth District, Ireland.
The remaining structure of Rathcoffey Castle includes a gate-house with a narrow passage leading to a guard-house and an underground cellar.
The Wogan family received the lands of Rathcoffey in 1317 as a reward for their loyalty to the crown and maintained control until the eighteenth century.
The castle represents the social structure of medieval Ireland, where influential families like the Wogans maintained power through strategic alliances and land ownership.
Visitors can locate the castle ruins along Rathcoffey Road, which connects to multiple local services and features asphalt surfaces for easy access.
Archibald Hamilton Rowan, a member of the United Irish movement, acquired the castle in the 1780s and transformed most of it into a residential house.
