We are down at Trim Co Meath for a few days break. Trim has got a number of ancient ecclesiastical and castle sites within easy walking distance of the town. Here overlooking the River Boyne is the fantastic Norman Trim Castle featured in Mel Gibson's Braveheart film.
Here is the Keep. Is this the largest Norman Castle Keep in Ireland?
The design of the central three-story keep (also known as a donjon or great tower) is unique for a Norman keep being of cruciform shape, with twenty corners. t was built on the site of the previous large ring work fortification in at least three stages, initially by Hugh de Lacy (c. 1174) and then in 1196 and 1201–5 by Walter de Lacy. The castle interior was partially the subject of an archaeological dig by David Sweetman of OPW in the 1970s and more extensively by Alan Hayden in the 1990s.
