Parke's Castle is a 17th century semi-fortified manor house, situated on the northeast shore of Lough Gill, in the north of County Leitrim, in the western province of Connacht, Ireland. The castle is built on the site of an earlier sixteenth-century O'Rourke Gaelic tower house. The castle and bawn had come into the possession of Robert Parke by 1628, possibly earlier. He had been granted some of the former O'Rourke lands as part of the Plantations. By 1635, Parke had completed his fortified manor house on the site of the older Gaelic castle.
Newtowngore or Newtown Gore, known before the Plantations of Ireland as Ducarrick, is a village on the R199 regional road in County Leitrim, in the north of the parish of Carrigallen.
A national monument in the Republic of Ireland is a structure or site, the preservation of which has been deemed to be of national importance and therefore worthy of state protection. If the land adjoining the monument is essential to protect it, this land may also be protected.
Lough Scur is a freshwater lake in south County Leitrim, northwest Ireland. It is part of the Shannon–Erne Waterway. There have been Human settlements here since the New Stone Age. Modern features include quays and moorings. Protected features are Castle John, three Crannogs, and the causeway into Rusheen Island, though "Jail Island" is not protected. The ecology of Lough Scur, and indeed all county Leitrim lakes, is threatened by pollution and invasive species such as curly waterweed, zebra mussel, and freshwater clam.
