I was on the Castle tour in 2003 and the guide said that the Normans built castles at a distance of 8 miles between each other. Has anybody heard this, or anything like it? I am having trouble finding a source for this.

Sorry, nothing I know of history supports this. Though in the Trim neighbourhood, there were at least two other de Lacy-built castles, Killeen and Dunsany. More than 8 miles away though, and very close to each other. 195.96.72.22 15:20, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Image:TrimCastleNorman.jpg is currently a dead link. Anybody know what happened? There are multiple links to it. --Red King 14:04, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Terms - links

There are a few terms, such as "great tower", with dead (red) links. Perhaps best to deactivate them - at least one seems too general.

Overall, a good starter article but I will try to expand, as I have visited a few times, and have some familiarity with the area. 195.96.72.22 15:21, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do. It would be a good idea to create an ID for yourself - anything you fancy really. It makes it easier for people to contact you for comments (only on your talk page). --Red King 19:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

And it would be great if you could take a picture to repalce the deleted one (see above) and put it on WikiCommons. --Red King 19:43, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
