Sign, The Field of the Yews

The name Aughnanure comes from the Gaelic Achadh na nIubhar - the field of yews, of which one old specimen remains nearby. Situated on the banks of the Drimneed River, which flows into the western side of Lough Corrib, the site allowed boats bringing supplies to come right up to the gate of the fortification.
