 Cahir Castle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Cahir castle is built on a rocky island in the river Suir (the name is derived from the Gaelic Cathair, meaning stone fort).
In 1599, Queen Elizabeth sent the Earl of Essex at the head of an army to crush the rebellion, and in May of that year he took Cahir castle; the castle fell in three days, after the Earl's cannon and culverin (he had one of each) battered down substantial portions of the east wall.
Thus, in 1650, when Cromwell appeared before Cahir and presented his usual offer to allow the garrison to "march away with your baggage, arms, and colours, free from injuries or violence," it appears that the garrison attempted no resistance.
