Kanturk Castle, Dunhallow Cork Ireland

Kanturk Castle, Dunhallow Cork Ireland

 Now an unfinished castle, the construction of Kanturk Castle in Duhallow began in 1601 by Dermot MacOwen MacDonagh. The English Council ordered a halt to the progression of the building, after neighbours complained of its size. Some accounts note that Dermot, in a fit of rage, then smashed building materials and had the building stripped.
