Leamcon, Near Schull : from "Castles in County Cork", Vol. 03, no. 12 : graphic
Transcript of text: - Page 01. LEAMCON. Near Skull. - The Black Castle. - Smith Vol.I. p.284. A ruined castle of the Mahonys, built on an island to which is a very narrow passage, easily defended. - Lewis. Vol.II. p.560. Taken by the Lord President of Munster in 1602, after the siege of Dunboy. Opposite Ardintenant, on an island, about a mile from the shore are the remains of the Black Castle, which gave the name to the island. Erected by the Sept of O'Mahony. - Cork Journal. 1895. p.388. The Hull family were settlers of the Elizabethan period. Irish State Papers describe pirates who anchored in the harbour at Lyme Con, and traded with Sir William Hull and other gentry of the district. Sir W. Hull lived at Leamcon about 1603. - Cork Journal. 1909. p.17. 72. 126. 190. Pacata says that it was warded by the Rebels, but taken by Capt.Harvey. Conogher, grandson of Finin Caol, was then the owner. Capt Harvey took divers castles which were strongly seated near the sea. The W. wall shows the marks made by a "sow". The Irish lacked powder. Conogher surrendered and seems to have gone to Spain in 1602. After Carew's departure the Irish seem to have again got possession of this and Dunmanus castle, but were again driven out. The "Down Survey" says: Near Leamcon is a fair stone house with an orchard. Finin Caol Mahony occupied it in the 16th Century. Conor, son of Dermod Runtach, is said to have built this castle. Dermot died in 1427, Conogher in 1473. He is said to have built Leamcon for his son Finin Caol. - - Page 02. LEAMCON. - Cork Journal. 1910. p.20. Neither Leamcon nor Dunmanus were forfeited by their defenders, and in 1622 the representatives of Conor O'Mahony of Leamcon, owner at the time of the siege, leased 6 or 7 ploughlands to Sir William Hull. In the lands attached to Leamcon there is an ancient columbarium, now in a ruinous condition. At the time of the Down Survey (1657) nearly all the castles were described as "ruinous" and were untenanted. - 1936. In good condition, -
Leamcon Castle, Near Schull : from "Castles in County Cork", Vol. 06, no. 36 : graphic
Transcript of text: - "The Black Castle". Built on an island approached by a narrow passage. It was taken in 1602 by the Lord president of Munster, Carew. Said to have been built by Connor O'Mahony (d. 1473) son of Dermod Runtach. 1622 this property was leased to Sir Wm. Hull. Irish state papers tell of pirates who anchored in Lyme Con bay and traded with Sir Wm. Hall. Down Survey 1657 calls all these castles "ruinous". - Rosbrin, Near Ballydehob, 1936. Smith says the ruins of a castle built by the O'Mahonys on a rock overhanging the ocean. Carew demolished it and battered the W. wall to the ground. The owner turned pirate in Elizabeth's day. Lewis says here was written the "Psalter of Rosbrin" by a Bard of the O'Mahonys. The Book of Lough says that Finghen (a son of Dermod Runtach _ 1400) got it. He was a learned man, chief of the clan. D. 1496. Noted for his humanity and hospitality. No MS of the Psalter has been seen since Smith's time. - Download size (PDF): 106 KB. Image no Vol_06-36. -
