Conn Castle, Medieval castle in Connacht, Ireland.
The stone fortress stands on elevated ground with thick defensive walls, round towers, and a central courtyard measuring forty meters in diameter.
The castle, constructed during the early medieval period, served as a strategic stronghold for the Connachta dynasty against regional military campaigns.
The site contains architectural elements that demonstrate the medieval Irish construction methods, including locally sourced limestone and traditional masonry techniques.
The castle grounds remain open to visitors from April through October, with guided tours available in English and Irish languages every two hours.
Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered a collection of medieval artifacts, including a ceremonial bell dating to the eighth century.
