Castle (in Ruins) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Donaghmore castle stood as a windowless square tower above a buried graveyard, forcing every visitor to climb or crawl into darkness._locals levelled the ruins around 1935, erasing even the stones Lewis had ridicoded decades earlier. The sea still breaks below the pasture where its shadow fell, keeping the shape alive in water and memory.

In pasture on gentle S-facing slope with commanding view to SW of sea. Burial-ground (CO136-070001-) c. 10m to SE. Shown on OS 6-inch map (1842) as rectangular structure. Noted by Lewis (1837, vol. 1, 481) as "a solitary square tower of very rude character; it has no windows, but two entrances, one from the ground and the other at some height above it". No visible trace remains. According to local information, castle ruins levelled c. 1935. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
