What is recorded here

Dunboy Castle was the stone throat of the O'Sullivan Bere, squeezing every fishing boat and merchant vessel through their harbour until George Carew’s cannons broke that pride in 1602. The ruins still choke the Beara Peninsula, marking the exact spot where a small garrison bled out rather than surrender its coastal kingdom.

Dunboy Castle was built in the early 17th century by the O'Sullivan Beare clan, an Irish Gaelic family, as a defensive stronghold during the Nine Years' War. It is remembered for its role in Irish resistance against English forces and its dramatic destruction in 1602 by Lord Mountjoy, marking a significant moment in the conflict.
