A few more notes about the castle (from County Clare tourist information)...

Dromore Castle is in a beautiful situation overlooking the lake, and it is at its best at sunset. It was built in the 16th Century and was later extended and repaired by Tadhg O' Brien in the 1600's. An inscription over the door reads: This castle was built by Teige second sonne of Connor, third Earl of Thomond and by Slaney O' Brien, wife of the said Teige Anno D.
