ATHENRY , a market town of county
Galway
 , Ireland, 14 M. inland (E.) from
Galway
  on the Midland
Great
  Western
main
  line. Pop. (1901) 8J3. Its name is derived from Ath-na-riogh, the ford of kings; and it
grew
  to importance after the Anglo-Norman invasion as the first town of the Burgs and Berminghams. The walls were erected in 1211 and the
castle
  in 1238, and the remains of both are noteworthy. A Dominican monastery was founded with
great
  magnificence by Myler de Bermingham in 1241, and was repaired by the Board of Works in 1893. Of the Franciscan monastery of 1464 little is left. The town returned two members to the Irish
parliament
