County Mayo (Ireland): An Outline History
By: Bernard O'Hara and Nollaig ÓMuraíle,
Copyright: Mayo Ireland Ltd.
Vikings
The Vikings or Norsemen first attacked Ireland in 795 and Mayo around the
start of the ninth century. On arrival, they started to plunder and loot
places of wealth especially monasteries. It was partly in response to those
attacks that round towers were later erected in monastic enclosures (most
were erected in the 12 century). There are about 65 of these fine structures
surviving in Ireland, with five located in County Mayo: Aughagower, Balla,
Killala, Turlough and Meelock. The Viking invasion led to the establishment
of settlements in a number of locations like Dublin, Cork, Wexford and
Waterford which later developed into towns and cities.
