💬 Discussion / Question Map of 16th century Castles in Ulster

3 Upvotes

Hiya folks I am looking for a map of the major castles in Ulster during the period 1550-1600. I have Bartletts map of Ulster but honestly it is a bit confusing to look at.

If anyone would have some good resources it would be majorly appreciated.

RULES

Be Civil - attack the idea, not the person defending it.
We follow the 'thirty-year rule' just to help keep things simple. If what you are posting happened in the last thirty years, it is probably sociology or politics, and not history, so we ask that you not post it.
You should only downvote posts and comments if they are irrelevant to Irish History or to the topic being discussed. If the conversation is completely de-railing, message the mods and we will look into it.
Bigotry in any form will not be tolerated and is grounds for instant banning.
Do not take the conversation out of the comments section. If you are badgering someone via private message, we will step in, and we might ban you.
Zero spam tolerance
Submissions and comments that are overtly political or attract too much political discussion will be removed; political topics are only acceptable if discussed in a historical context. Comments should discuss a historical topic, not advocate an agenda.
