Dangan Castle

Archaeological place

What is recorded here

Daingean Bona Cuilinn, recorded in the Annals of the Four Masters, burned in 1145, yet the land remembered its strength because Dangan means stronghold. The O'Birnes held it through turmoil, the younger Donogh owning 160 acres when the 1641 Rebellion came, while the Mac Dermots of Moylurg never claimed it. Today a low pasture rise and a nearby ancient rath preserve what fire, war and time cannot erase.
Dangan Castle is recorded as a archaeological place in County Roscommon. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
