What is recorded here

Castle in Ballincarroonig, County Cork, Ireland. According to Healy (1988, 90) house on site of Aghada Castle (Coleman 1915, 169). This appears to be castle shown on 1587 map (Hayes-McCoy 1964, 25) and named 'Longeforde'; but this name not listed by Power (1940, 16-7) who gives Aghada as Acadh Fhada (the Long Field). 'Longeforde' probably derived from 'longphort' (a Viking naval camp) (Edwards 1990, 172); the name survives at nearby Long Point.
