Bermingham Castles of Ireland
There are a numerous Bermingham monuments dotted around Ireland particularly in counties Kildare, Offaly, Galway, and Dublin. Unfortunately most are now in a very poor state. Athenry Castle in Galway is the most impressive example having been restored recently using building techniques similar to those employed when it was originally built.
There are a total of five castles and one monastery still in existence in counties Kildare and Offaly. Carbury Castle, Grange Castle and Carrick Castles are in County Kildare, while Blundell Castle, Kinnefad Castle, and Monasterois Monastery are in County Offaly. In Galway there is Athenry Castle and Monastery, Dunmore Castle and Bermingham House, the seat of the last Baron of Athenry and Earl of Louth, Thomas Bermingham until his death in 1799.

== Carbury Castle, County Kildare ==
Carbury Castle is situated in the townland of Carbury, on the borders of Kildare and Offaly. The area is dominated by the ruins of this great Tudor mansion set atop Carbury Hill, which was also known as Fairy Hill. The motte on the hill was probably built by Meiler FitzHenry who was granted the area by Strongbow. It was acquired by the de Berminghams in the 14th century, before being taken by the native Irish in the 15th century. In 1588 it was granted to the Colley family, ancestors of the Dukes of Wellington, who built a large stronghouse in the 17th century.
