Grenan Castle

Grenan Castle was probably built in the 13th century by Thomas Fitz-Anthony (died 1229). Otherwise, not much is known about this structure. It is three stories, with the third story built at a later date than the first two. The third story is mostly gone.


Grenan Castle may have passed from Fitz-Anthonty through several son-in-laws to the family of Denn.
