    There are very few castles in this district. Baltard Castle is the nearest to Kilrush. It is supposed to have been built by the Danes who settled peacefully in Ireland after they invaded. Donogroghie Castle in Killimer is a very large building and is still occupied as a dwelling place. Doonbeg Castle is in ruins - the walls are still standing but the interior is dilapidated. It was occupied about 30 years ago by an old woman named Bridget Moriarty.
