Search for historic pre-anglo-norman sites, monastic towns, forts/fortified palaces etc.

14 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I have been consumed by the life story of Diarmait Mac Murchada and his pact with Richard De Clare. Their whole story was very interesting and so I set out to try and explore it through the guise of a wargame/political sim.

For this I have recently started constructing a semi-detailed map of Leinster...

I have had the greatest trouble however, figuring out which monastic towns, noble forts and palaces and other sites were even used or inhabited in the region at all. (outside of the obvious like Ferns, Wexford, Wicklow St. Mullins etc)

Currently I am trying to identify these places in the following regions of the:

Uí Fáelain

Uí Dúnchada

Uí Muiredaig

And in the Fortúatha Laigen (here I am having trouble even identifying which dynasty even ruled this region)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
