Dunboy Castle

Dunboy Castle (meaning Caisleán Dhún Baoi) was a stronghold of the O'Sullivan Bere, a Gaelic clan leader and 'Chief of Dunboy'. The castle is located on the Beara Peninsula in south-west Ireland near the town of Castletownbere and was built to guard and defend the harbour of Berehaven. Its presence there enabled O'Sullivan Bere to control the sea fisheries off the Irish coast and collect sizeable taxes from Irish and Continental fishing vessels sheltering in the haven.

Located at 51.633, -9.924 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.
