Description

Plantation Castles on the Erne is a comprehensive guide to the Ulster Plantation castles in the Erne basin, which still survive today. This two-part guide sets the scene for the creation of these castles and explores their history, including the reasons behind their decline.

The book features photographs of typical castle features, as well as detailed descriptions of three suggested itineraries that can be followed on a day's outing around Lower Lough Erne, Upper Lough Erne, or County Cavan. Each itinerary includes a detailed account of the history and surviving ruins of each castle site.
