The village of Newcastle is
half a mile from the castle and church where it was
originally located. Newcastle takes its name from the
Castle, built by the Normans on an earlier Irish
fortification in the territory of the O'Byrne's. Constructed
in the period between 1177 and 1184 by Hugh de Lacy then
governor of Ireland under Henry II, the Castle called
Newcastle Mackynegan, became a major stronghold in the outer
fortifications of the Pale. Even so it was attacked and
occupied at intervals by the Wicklow Irish chieftains the
O'Tooles and the O'Byrnes. The current ruin on the site is
not that of the castle which was destroyed in the 1500s but
of a building which was erected on the site. The Castle was
the county seat and administrative centre until the shiring
of Wicklow county in the 1500s when it moved to Wicklow Town
after the castle was again raided. |
