The surviving wall of the Magennis Castle of 1611
This castle was destroyed by the planters in 1641. The site of the castle is now occupied by the water tower. The upper rim has been painted red white and blue by the descendants of the planters. The location was also the birth place of Andrew George Scott - Captain Moonlight - a land owner's son, lay preacher and notorious Australian bush ranger who was finally hung in 1888

The remains of Rathfriland Castle and the town's better known water tower
The castle was built by the Magennises the Lords of Iveagh. Following the rebellion of 1641, when the Magennises backed the Irish Catholic cause, most of the castle was pulled down by the Planter William Hawkins of London. The rest was destroyed by the Puritan Roundhead General Henry Ireton. A tiny remnant of a wall is incorporated in the flat topped build on the right of the photo. The water tower dates from the late 1970s. The red, white and blue pattern on the upper rim is the work of intrepid Loyalists.
