Abandoned Castle In Ireland

A castle was built on the Roscommon Island in Ireland in the 12th century. However, a fire in 1184 started as a result of a lightning bolt and everyone was either burnt or drowned. Only a small group of people following Conchobar mac Diarmata remained alive. Another castle was built on the island by the McDermotts in 1586 but after they lost the island, the castle was left abandoned again.
