Lackeen Castle was built in the 12th Century and rebuilt in the 16th
Century by John O'Kennedy. In the process of rebuilding the Stowe
Missal, a 9th Century Mass Book, was found. The Castle stands in a bawn
and is surrounded by the remains of a high wall. To the east of the Castle is a fine example of a Cromwellian
farmhouse. The Castle is situated three miles east of Lorrha village
and is still in remarkably good condition.
