• DG031-003 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Red Castle (site of): In 1601, this castle was inhabited by Hugh Carrogh McLaughlin and was captured by English forces in the 1608 rebellion. Granted to Chichester, it was let to Sir Richard Hansard and subsequently to Sir George Carey. The castle was probably a ruin by 1665 and had been entirely demolished more than a century and a half ago. It was sited on a boss of rock, c. 4.5m high. (Simmington 1937, 2; Davies and Swan 1939, 207; Hunter 1975, 82). The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).
