Lackeen Castle, Lorrha

Lovely Lackeen Tower House Tour: A tour of this 16th century tower house which is in great condition with its bawn wall & mill, and also the recently discovered Fulacht Fia. The O’Kennedys were the ruling clan of this area. Full of interesting facts, including on the Lorrha Missal which was found here, and is one of the oldest mass books in Europe. Links to J.F.K. and others in the modern day Kennedy and O'Kennedy clans! All castles have their resident ghosts and this one was said to have its very own pooka. Again a combination of archaeology, history and folklore told in an interesting and fun way.
