"Castle Hackett was a 13th century tower house located close to Knockma along the east side of Lough Corrib. A Norman family called Hacketts who settled in the area built it. This part of the county was part of the O'Flaherty's lands but after the Norman invasion they were forced to move across the lake to their other territories in the Connemara. In the 15th century the Kirwan family, one of Galway's 12 tribes, took up residence in the house."
