Episode Synopsis

Uncover the rich and dramatic history of Carrigaholt Castle, a protected 15th-century tower house in County Clare, Ireland. Once home to Gaelic chieftains, rebel lords, and Wild Geese, this coastal fortress saw sieges, exiles, and political upheaval. Though the castle is safeguarded by the Office of Public Works and National Monuments, the lands surrounding it were listed for sale in 2024. Join Whispering Stones for a vivid journey into Ireland’s defiant past — in a place where stone remembers everything. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
