What is recorded here

Doonogan Castle first appeared in records in 1577 as a fortress likely built by Mortagh O'Brien atop a striking rocky outcrop in County Clare. Donagh O'Brien, the fourth Earl of Thomond, controlled the structure until leasing it to James FitzNicholas Bourke of Limerick in 1618. Today rectangular foundations and scattered masonry fragments mark the site where powerful families once projected authority across the Clare landscape.
