Introduction<\/h6>\n

By the Quincentennial Bridge on the River Corrib lies the remains of Terryland\/Terriland (originally known as T\u00edr Oile\u00e1in\/Terrylaun\/\u201cOldcastle\u201d [sic], this siteseemingly should have developed to take on the name Tirellan in English but it did noti,ii,iii<\/sup>) Castle. This much shorter article will detail some of the more significant parts of the castle\u2019s history. While the article itself will not delve into detail on topics such as infantry presence due to the sheer amount of instances where the castle was used, many of the books and articles listed in the endnotes of this blog post list some interesting tidbits missing from this article. Despite this absence of detail, the overarching narrative of the castle is present in this piece.<\/p>\n

Some Major Events<\/h6>\n

The site, originally developed in the late 16th<\/sup> century, was intended by descendants of the De Burgos to stop the O\u2019Flahertys from crossing east into the higher quality landiv,v<\/sup>. This would not last however, as instead of staying here, in short, the De Burgos would move from Terryland Castle to Castlegar for a night before moving to Portumna. Ironically, this decision was made in fear that they were unsafe in the event of an O\u2019Flaherty invasion. There is a brilliant article called \u201cThe Castle of T\u00edr Oile\u00e1in\u201d by Tom Kenny which is too dense to rewrite here without plagiarising the piece. It is absolutely worth reading after this postvi<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

In 1642, the site would be used against Galway in rebellion against the Earl of Clanricarde but would be used in 1651 by the city to defend the area against the Cromwellians\u2014unsuccessfully, with the it being the first outpost captured by the army by 1692\u2014and then again during the siege of 1691 against King William\u2019s forces\u2014this time, the Irish defending the site would go on to burn the castle (this is the cause of the site being roofless to this day) and continue defending the grounds before needing to retreat along the river bank to the cityvii,viii<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Recent Developments<\/h6>\n

The building has suffered in more recent decades largely since hurricane Debbie in 1961ix,x<\/sup>. 1984 was a particularly disappointing year for those interested in Galway\u2019s heritage, with one gable wall falling in 1984, some of the bawn wall being knocked intentionally to\u2026 mend\u2026 the castle with the stone, and some of the stone walls being \u201creduced\u201d outright from the site to make the area safer before construction of the Quincentennial Bridge beganxi<\/sup>. More would collapse then due to another storm in early 1991xii<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Maurice Semple wrote in 1988 that the construction of the approach road to the New Bridge had made the ruins less stable as a consequence of the road\u2019s close proximity to the structurexiii<\/sup>. Even more unfortunate, is that this outcome was preferable to the alternative, with Fox et al. discussing in 1979, a (now thankfully unfounded) fear that the remains would be knocked to make way for that road and bridge which would be built by Semple\u2019s time of writingxiv<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
