Carlow History

Carlow is a town and county located in the southeastern part of Ireland, in the province of Leinster. It has a rich history that spans over several centuries, from prehistoric times to the present day.

During the prehistoric period, Carlow was home to several ancient settlements, including the Iron Age fort of Rathcroghan and the Neolithic site of Brownshill Dolmen, which dates back to around 3000 BCE.

In the early medieval period, Carlow was part of the Kingdom of Osraige, which was ruled by the Dál Birn dynasties. The town of Carlow itself was founded by the Normans in the 13th century, and they built a castle there to serve as a stronghold in the region.
