[CLOTin. before tlie finglisli invasion in 1171. [From the best opinion I can form on this disputed subject, I conclude the Irish round towers to have been raised by the Qstmen, on their conversion to Christianity, about 900.] '* When the old retreat of the cave became of less consequence, from the change of manners, the safety of the inhabitants was equally consulted about 1200, by the erection of several strong and insulated castles, as seems to have been the case in all the old Irish towns o...f much note, to which the inmates of the neigh- bouring caverns retired in times of danger, at once receiving and giving protection. One of these castles was, as we have seen, at the south-east angle of the square, formed by the meet- ing of the four streets ; a second stood in Garryowen-lane, on the north side of the road ; and another somewhat to the east of the pi'esent see house: these buildings were probably raised by the Powers, or Fitzgeralds, most likely by the latter, who possessed almost the whole barony of Imokilly, first when newly settled in the country as a defence against the savage natives^ and afterwards, when assimilated to them in manners and religion, as a protection to them.
