On the banks of the river are the ruins of Inchiquin castle, consisting of a round tower 9 yards in diameter, the walls of which are more than 12ft thick. It is the property of Lord Ponsonby.

Another document mentions it in 1322 as a round tower built of stone. Hayman also says that Fitzstephen, who was granted half of Cork, sold Inchiquin to Maurice Fitzgerald. (after 1180). - Cork Journal 1892. p. 181. The castle is said to be one of the first built in this district, about 100 years before Castle Richard and was said to have been taken through the treachery of a servant girl. A boat also came up from Youghal and battered the castle with a cannon. Lord Ponsonby, the owner, built on an abutment to preserve it, as the castle was being undermined by water and part fell in 1850. - Cork Journal 1896. p.145. It was a dower house for widows of the Desmond family. In the 14th Century Emmeline, widow of Sir Gerald Fitzmaurice, lived there for 36 years. It was a fine estate with gardens and outbuildings.
