CASTLE Saunderson has been declared as one of the ‘most at risk’ historical buildings in Ireland.

James II's troops burned the castle in 1689. Months later, 400 of King James's soldiers were ambushed here while on retreat from the battle at Newtownbutler. They were driven toward the Finn River and many drowned. The present castle dates to 1840 and was destroyed by fire in 1990.
