In
1277 Sir Thomas de Clare built a stone castle and a town
grew up around its walls. Bunratty and the surrounding
town were burnt down by the widow of the son of Sir
Thomas. Bunratty passed back and forth between the Irish
and the English until 1450 when Macon MacSioda Macnamara
and his son Sean Finn erected the present castle in
County Claire. The rectangular central core is
embellished with a massive tower in each corner. The
entrance, through a 10' thick wall on the second floor
leads directly into the great hall.
