• LE025-061001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Situated in woodland towards the NW corner of the heart-shaped Cherry Island (dims c. 280m N-S; 250m E-W), formerly known as Hog Island or Inis na dTorc, in Garadice Lough, formerly called Lough Finvoy. In 1257 Con, the son of Tiernan O'Rourke gave the island, described as fortified, to O'Conor (AFM), but It is thought to have been an O’Rourke castle until they transferred their centre to Drumahaire (LE014-009----) and north Leitrim after 1418, in which year Owen, the son of Tiernan Mór O’Rourke, was drowned while returning from a visit to his dying father at Inis-na-dTorc (AFM). By the seventeenth century the island and castle was said to have belonged to Myles ‘the Slasher’ O’Reilly, whose principal stronghold as at Crane Island (LE026-006----) at the SE edge of the lake. The surviving structure is unlikely to date from the thirteenth century. It is a rectangular building (int. dims 19.55m E-W; 8.05m N-S) with the W wall surviving (H 2.7m; T 1.2-1.3m) best, although without the corners, while the other walls are reduced to the foundation courses. The walls are featureless, apart from some putlog holes in the W wall, and not even an entrance can be identified. It is situated within a D-shaped enclosure (dims 31m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by a stone spread with the straight E side 4m from the castle, but an entrance cannot be identified. A cairn (diam. c. 15m; H 1.5-2.5m) containing a kiln (diam. 2.1m; D 0.95m) which opens to the W is overlying the enclosure wall at W and SW of the castle.
