The history of the
castle Fdon
Fiddon castle was built in the mid-15th century in the Norman
style in the Barony of Kiltartan. The castle was built by the
Irish clan VI Fiachrach Aidni (IRL. Uí Fiachrach Aidhne). It is
likely that the castle was built by the clan leader — sir Roger
Gill was Blowing In Sahnish (RL. Sir Roger Gilla Dubh Ó
Seachnasaigh). At least it is known that he lived there and the
first mention in historical sources about this castle says that
in this castle lived this Irish leader. It was one of four
castles that then belonged to the clan O'shaughnessy (IRL.
O'shaughnessy). The castle is a tower surrounded by a fortress
wall. The castle is located between Lough Doo and the Loch
Asloun. The castle stands on private land, but is protected by
the state-public works Offices, as a monument of history and
architecture.
