What is recorded here
Cappanacush Castle was built in the 17th century by the O'Donovan family, a prominent Gaelic Irish clan in County Kerry. The castle is remembered as a historical symbol of the region's pre-colonial aristocracy and the subsequent decline of native Irish lordships during the 17th-century land confiscations.
