Carrigogunnell Castle is a medieval Irish fortification near the village of Clarina, on the banks of the River Shannon in Co. Limerick. The place is first named in 1209, when Carrac Ui Conaing was granted to Donnchad Cairbreach, King of Thomond. During the second siege of Limerick of the Williamite War in Ireland, the castle was occupied by a force of 150 men for King James II. In August 1691 Lieutenant-General Scravemore was sent by the Dutch General Godert de Ginckell with a strong party, and four guns, to take the castle. The garrison surrendered and were marched to Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, as prisoners of war. Shortly afterwards, in September of that year, de Ginckell ordered Carrigogunnell slighted and it was blown up.
