History

Fiddaun was most likely built by Sir Roger Gilla Dubh Ó Seachnasaigh, as he is the first mentioned living there and it is not known before his time.[2]

This tower house is most noted for its well preserved inner bawn wall. It is located on private land and maintained by the Office of Public Works.Шаблон:Fact
