Castle

O Murchadha (1988, 73-82) locates the castle of Dun Mic Oghmainn in the vicinity of Myross church (CO151-024002-), probably on seaward side. There appear to be no overground remains and the castle may 'have crumbled over the cliff long since'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Dun Mic Oghmainn was likely a medieval Irish castle associated with the Mac Eoghmainn dynasty in the Bluid East area. It is remembered for its historical identification by O Murchadha and its probable location near Myross church, though no above-ground remains survive.
