history of
Barrow HousE
Sir Edward Denny was granted over 6000 acres of Munster
after the Desmond Rebellion.
After many generations, the land around Barrow was leased to William Collis,
a Cromwellian Officer, who married a member of the Denny family.
Barrow Harbour was the major port for the region, servicing the monastic settlement of Ardfert and the general area of Tralee.
A narrow entrance to the Harbour was protected by Fenit Castle on Fenit Island.
The ruins of the castle still remain.
Along with restoring Barrow House, we are committed to ensuring the full history is documented and shared with all our visitors.
