What is recorded here

The castle of Onagh (Caislean Muille Uanach) was built in 1238 as a stronghold against the men of Connacht, and it was burnt by Hugh O'Conor in 1270 (A.C.). This may refer to Dundonnell ringwork castle (RO051-047001-) (Lynne 1985-6, 105; Curley 2011). Otherwise, it was not encountered. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
