at Glanirogy, all on the Island of Cape Clear. 1 He died April 10th, 1600, 

 having, by a deed of November 25th, 1594, enfeoffed David Hurley with the 

 said castle, in trust, for More ny Eannell, the grantor's wife. Their son 

 Conoghor succeeded, and died September 20th, 1606, leaving a son 

 Donagh O'Dryscoll, of full age, holding from the king by military service. 2 

 In 1655 the survey of " The Parish and Island of Cape Cleare " gives 

 Teige O Driscoll, alias Carragh, as holding Dununore, 114a.; Donogh

 Driscoll, Beheloge 1 gn. 3a. (To Sir Algernon May and his wife.) 3 The 

 contemporary map marks Cape Clere, the Castle, and Trahaud, but puts 

 " Dununore " at the wrong end of the island. Dr. O'Donovan, in his 

 " Sketches of Carbery," gives a few notes on the later history. He says 

 there was a garrison at the Castle in Queen Anne's time, and mentions 

 the huge iron ring-bolt, set in the rock, to which the O Driscolls formerly 

 moored their galleys in the creek. The last is improbable, even to 

 impossibility : no one could moor galleys in the dangerous wave-trap, 

 open to the most stormy and unsheltered points. The islanders regard 

 the ruin as haunted, and tell of the singing of ships' crews in its vaults. 

 One " Croohoor " (Conor) O'Careavaun f Herernon's grandson) lived as a 

 hermit there in the eighteenth century. Another legend tells how, in 

 1798, the inhabitants painted the Parbreag Kocks and pillars so as to

3 Book of Distribution and Survey, Co. Cork, p. 238. Many of the present names are 

 absent ; Dunanore is obvious. Gortagolane was evidently at one of the gallans, perhaps 

 at Gortalassa ; Killmorowne is Kilvroon in Comillane (Camullane, 1655) ; Keenline is 

 Keenleen ; Knockaneakshige is Knockauncohig ; Lisomonin, is Lissamona ; Kiluricka- 

 fonroane is Killickaforavane ; and Carhoone is Carhoona. Trahauke appears as Trahaud 

 in the Down Survey map.
