Carriganass Castle

It is situated about 8 kilometres north-east of Bantry, close to the village of Kealkill, in West Cork.

Following the English victory at Kinsale, one of the commanders, Sir George Carew, pursued the O'Sullivan forces back to their base on the Beara Peninsula.

The main tower is perched on a rock overhanging the Ouvane river, and has 4 corner turrets.

Carriganass Castle marks the intersection of a number of key West Cork walking routes.

The Beara-Breifne Way charts O'Sullivan Bere's march from West Cork to Leitrim on his way to join the Flight of the Earls.
