Stair

Creidtear gur thóg John Rosseter (Rossiter, Rositer, Rosceter) Caisleán Ráth Mhac nAodha, a rinne seanascal de Shaoirse Loch Garman é c. 1415 Baineann cuntais eile lena gharmhac Thomas Rossiter, seneschal i 1493. D’fhan na Rossiters ina gCaitliceach tar éis an Reifirméisean ach d’fhan siad dílis don mhonarcacht agus lean a gcuid tailte ina seilbh. Throid an Coirnéal Thomas Rosseter in aghaidh Oilibhéar Cromail ag Loch Garman i gCogadh Comhdhála na hÉireann agus coigistíodh an caisleán agus na tailte i 1654. Bhí an gcaisleán fós in úsáid mar áit cónaithe go dtí na 1760idí. Sa 19ú haois rinne a úinéir, Hamilton Knox Grogan Morgan, athchóiriú air.^[5]
