What is recorded here

Rossbrin Castle guards the cove entrance as the eastern anchor of the O'Mahony line, its stones marking a boundary that kept shifting between pirate ambition and royal seizure. Donal lost the castle after his execution in 1562, yet his kin took it back from English hands in 1571 before Oliver Lambert claimed it again in 1584. Storms in 1905, 1963 and 1975 finished what abandonment had begun, leaving a tower ruin where the sea still enters the bay beneath it.
