The history of Clonbur
The Firbolg, Brendan's cashel, the O'Kynes' castle, the Guinnesses, the All-Ireland of 2012. 5 moments, in order.
- Legend
The Firbolg on Mount Gable
The hordes gathered on the hilltop two kilometres west before their clash with the Tuatha Dé Danann at the Battle of Moytura.
- Early Christian times
Teampall Bhréandáin
In Ross Hill cemetery the ruin stands inside an oval cashel; its western end, with the inclined jambs of a trabeated doorway, replaced the wooden church thought to be Brendan of Clonfert's own settlement. An ogham stone stands within thirty metres of the door.
- 13th century
Ballykine Castle
One of five forts from Ballinrobe to Ballindonage, built by the O'Kynes, seized for the Crown in 1571 by Edward Fitton, held by the Burkes and given to the MacDonnell mercenaries, and at last part of the Guinness estate. Its trabeated doorway is centuries older than the rest.
- 19th century
The Guinnesses
Petersburg, the Lynch seat, and Ross Hill, once the unpopular Earl of Leitrim's, both came to the Guinness family; Petersburg's house and yard are now an outdoor education centre.
