About
Castle Naghten is a motte and National Monument located in County Roscommon, Ireland.
Castle Naghten is located 2 km (1.2 mi) east of Brideswell, on the east bank of the Cross River.
Motte-and-bailey castles were a primitive type of castle built after the Norman invasion, a mound of earth topped by a wooden palisade and tower.
The motte at Castle Naghten was constructed to control the route from Athlone to Rindown, a narrow and arduous way passing through bogland.
