PHOTO O'BRIEN'S CASTLE INIS OIRR ARAN ISLANDS O'BRIEN'S CASTLE ON INIS O?RR WAS PROBABLY BUILT IN THE 14TH CENTURY WHICH MAKES IT EARLIER THAN THE TOWER HOUSES OF THE BURREN AND LATER THAN THE STONE FORTS OF THE ARAN ISLANDS. THE CASTLE WAS TAKEN FROM THE O'BRIENS BY THE O'FLAHERTY'S OF CONNEMARA IN 1582. IT WAS OCCUPIED BY THEM AND OTHERS UNTIL 1652 WHEN THE ARAN ISLANDS WERE SURRENDERED TO CROMWELLIAN FORCES. THE CASTLE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN PARTIALLY DISMANTLED AT THAT TIME IN FAVOUR OF THE ARKIN FORT ON INIS M?R. 1992 COPYRIGHT (Photograph and text in Extra Info) CHRISTINE MATTHEWSPHOTO PAPER THICKNESS NORMAL PHOTOGRAPH THICKNESS
