Taghmon Castle
Taghmon Castle is a ruined tower house in the village of Taghmon in County Wexford, a medieval settlement founded on the site of the seventh-century monastery of Saint Munnu. The castle dates from the later medieval period and reflects the well-settled Anglo-Norman agricultural landscape of mid-Wexford. The village takes its name from the Irish Tech Munnu, house or church of Munnu, and the medieval parish church standing as a direct successor to the early Christian monastery gives the village an unusual continuity of religious purpose across fourteen centuries. County Wexford has a particularly rich heritage of early Christian monasteries, Norman manors and tower houses reflecting its status as one of the earliest and most thoroughly colonised parts of Anglo-Norman Ireland.
