Client Website: Dysert Castle, Clare

At iBrutes Media, we meticulously designed and completed the website “dysertcastle.ie” for Dysert O’Dea Castle, home to the Clare Archaeology Centre. Our design aimed to highlight the rich history and cultural significance of this authentically restored 15th-century castle, once the stronghold of the O’Dea clan. The website showcases the castle’s extensive museum, audio-visual presentations, and various exhibitions across its ten rooms and four floors. By creating a visually engaging and user-friendly platform, we ensured that visitors could easily access information about the 25 surrounding archaeological field monuments and understand why Dysert O’Dea Castle is a must-see destination in County Clare.

Welcome to the Clare Archaeology Centre. Allow us to provide an overview of what’s on offer, and illustrate why a visit to Dysert O’Dea Castle—and the surrounding 25 original archaeological field monuments are a must-see on any visit to County Clare.

The authentically restored 15th century Dysert O’Dea castle was the stronghold of the O’Dea clan. It is now home to The Clare Archaeology Centre, opened in July 1986, and has been the recipient of numerous national awards.

The Castle was built in 1480 by Diarmuid O’Dea, Lord of Cineal Fearmaic. The uppermost floors and staircase were badly damaged by the Cromwellians in 1651. Repaired and re-opened in 1986, the castle houses an extensive museum, an audio-visual presentation, and various exhibitions.

The old castle contains ten rooms over four floors, housing a wide selection of facilities for our visitors.
