ruined matello towers near the older norman ruins

This little fishing village has a 12th century castle that is quite ruined - the multie-sided tower is actually a much later addition bside the Norman remains. The new towers were built around 1800.

The old castle has been linked with Derry, and may appear on the city crest.
