Castletroy is a suburb of Limerick, Ireland. The town was named after Castle Troy also known as the Black Castle, which is located on the southern bank of the River Shannon, roughly 2 km east of the University of Limerick. However the name likely predates the castle itself as the area may have been used by the O’Turrain clan having used it as a safe harbour for navigating the river.
