A castle was built here prior to the year 1142, by Connor, King of Thomond and Monarch of Ireland.

In the reign of Elizabeth I the castle was besieged by the Earl of Essex, with the whole of his army, when the garrison, encouraged by the hostilities then waged by the Earl of Desmond, held out for ten days, but was forceded to surrender.

In 1647, this fortress was besieged by Lord Inchiquin, and, notwithstanding its great strength, surrendered in a few hours, after some of its outworks had been gained by the attackers.
