    Share Share Post
    Gráine Maol's Castle is in Connemara. You could see the river Shannon, County Clare and the Ships in Galway bay from the top of the Castle.
    Gráine Maol was a woman who owned the Castle. She built a prision over a river and when she wanted to put prisoners to death all she had to was to open a trap door and let the prisoner into the river. The river i flows very fast and used to sweep the person out to sea.
