What is recorded here
Kinbane Castle was built by the MacDonnell clan in the 16th century and later held by the MacQuillans, who were prominent Gaelic lords in the area. It is important as a historic stronghold associated with the resistance against English colonization in Ulster during the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
