Rindoon, Archaeological site in County Roscommon, Ireland
The stone ruins of Rindoon extend along a peninsula into Lough Ree, featuring defensive walls, castle remains, and church foundations across the landscape.
The settlement was established between 1200 and 1250, with Geoffrey de Marisco constructing the castle in 1227 before its decline during Gaelic resurgence.
The excavated artifacts and structures at Rindoon provide essential information about medieval Irish construction methods and daily life patterns.
Visitors can explore the site through two marked walking paths: the Rinn Duin Castle Loop and the Rinn Duin Warren Point Loop.
The site maintains complete medieval town elements including defensive structures, religious buildings, and settlement layouts from 13th-century Anglo-Norman architecture.
