The Rock of Dunamase
County Laois
It is a quirk of Ireland that we give majestic monuments unassuming names. Rising from a jagged misshapen outcrop, towering over fields of green that unfurl towards the horizon, the Rock of Dunamse in County Laois is one such place.
This is no ordinary rock. Pillaged by Vikings in 845, fought over by warriors and gifted by the King of Leinster, Diarmuid Mac Murrough, to the Norman chief Strongbow in 1170 as part of a dowry for his daughter Aoife, the Rock of Dunamase is a spectacular ruined fortress that has stood the test of time.
Today, this hidden gem – abandoned in the 14th century – is one of the most compelling places to visit in Ireland’s Ancient East. Walk the paths around the ruined fortress, be wowed by the commanding views over the low-lying fields of County Laois, and uncover the fort’s many stories and secrets.
