Castletown

In 1182 Hugh de Lacy built a castle here for Robert de Bigarz, and it became the center of an important Norman borough. Only fragments of the castle remain. The village itself is built around a triangular fair green. Castletown has preformed very well each year in the Tidy Towns competition, achieving the 2000 gold medal in its category. South of the village in Churchtown are the ruins of a medieval church.
