What is recorded here

Aghamilla Castle belonged to the O'Heas and occupied a narrow rocky promontory where the Fealge river bends from west-east to north-south. The castle watched undulating pastureland on both sides, giving its keepers an unusual view of water and grass. By 1842 the structure had fallen into ruin, and the stones may have fed the nearby mill or been carried away by time. The river still marks the place even though the castle no longer shows itself.

On S side of river Fealge where river changes direction from W-E to N-S; on narrow rocky promontory; overlooking undulating pastureland to N and E. Shown on O.S. map (1842) as 'in ruins'. No visible surface trace. According to O'Donoghue (1986, 103) 'a small castle of the O'Heas'. Mill complex (CO135-009002) to NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).
