Trim Castle, 2000.
Trim Castle built by Hugh de Lacy, 1st Lord of Meath,
first wooden structure built 1173,
the massive stone keep (survives) built by 1176,
inherited by the de Geneville family,
passed by marriage 1301 to the Mortimer family,
survives today, now in the care of Dúchas.
It was used in the film Braveheart (interestingly, it was the property of Queen Isabella's real lover, Roger de Mortimer, 1st Earl of March).
