Dunmoe Castle, Medieval castle ruins near Navan, Ireland
The rectangular stone structure retains two circular towers from its original four, standing high above the River Boyne between Navan and Slane.
The D'Arcy family inhabited this fifteenth-century fortress that marked the western boundary of the English Pale until its destruction by fire in 1798.
The castle grounds include a medieval chapel containing the D'Arcy family mausoleum, with its original font now preserved in St Oliver's Church in Navan.
Visitors can explore the remaining towers and walls of the four-story structure, which features a vaulted ground floor and arrow slits in the south wall.
George D'Arcy reportedly hosted both King James II and King William III on consecutive nights during the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
