Documents		Kinnard Castle, Site Plan From Rev WB Stonehouse's History published 1839. Kinnard Castle was erected by the Lord of the Fee, shortly after the 1066 conquest. Probably mainly of wood as all the early castles were. According to Stonehouse in the 20th year of King Henry II reign in 1172 (actually 1174 was the 20th year) it was in a delapidated condition. It was repaired by Roger de Mowbray to support Prince Henry who was in conflict with his father Henry II. The castle was destroyed in the following year along with Roger's other castles on the order of Henry II as part of his policy of controlling his barons. Henry did not trust Roger, he left to fight in the Holy Land.
