Antiquities of Laois |
County Laois is one of the richest counties in Ireland for antiquities and has been bestowed with a rich tapestry of history that spans over four millennia. Laois began as being part of the Kingdom of Osraighe, to the Lordship of Leix, and from the creation of Queen’s County, to finally returning to its ancient name of County Laois after the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922. The earliest and only written records of pre-Christian County Laois come from the Greek historian, Ptolemy, whose map of Ireland of c.100 A.D., shows a castle or fortress at Dunamase, close to a river called the Birgus and inhabited by a Celtic tribe called the Brigantes. They claimed descent from Lug Laighseach, prince to the Royal Fort of Emain Macha & hero of the Red-Branch Knights of Ulster. |
