Naas Town
In early times it was the seat of the kings
of Leinster, and the North Mote is the site
of the ancient royal palace. Saint Patrick
visited here and is said to have camped on
the site of the present Protestant parish
church. The town was fortified by the Normans
and pundered in 1316 by Robert and Edward
Bruce. A Norman castle, once part of the towns
fortifications, has been converted into the
modern Church of Ireland rectory. The last
King of Naas to be recognised as King of Leinster
was Cearbhall who died in 989 AD. |

Rathcoole Village
Rathcoole is a thriving Irish village with
a lot of history, located in South County
Dublin. The village was the birthplace in
1765 of the United Irishman Felix Rourke.
Like nearby Newcastle and Saggart, Rathcoole
was on the periphery of the Pale and was the
site of many battles with mountain-based rebels.
In the late 1700s Rathcoole was composed mainly
of mud huts, and as late as the early 1900s
it consisted of only one street. Today it
is home to more than two hundred and fifty
businesses. |
