Overlooking the valley of the O’Moores in County Laois, Ireland, the Rock of Dunamase is a Celtic fortification that was once a very important Anglo-Norman stronghold. It was part of the dowry of Aoife, the daughter of the King of Leinster, when she was given in marriage to the Norman conqueror Strongbow in 1170. The top of the rocky outcrop offers spectacular views across the plain, especially at sunrise or sunset.
