🏰 Cloghan Castle (County Cork)

Cloghan Castle is a ruined tower house on Castle Island in Lough Hyne in West Cork, Ireland. Although it no longer stands, it was originally at least three storeys tall. Castle Cloghan was once the main stronghold of the Irish clan O'Driscoll, but was abandoned after their Chief, Sir Fineen O'Driscoll, died there in 1629. The mid-19th century collapse of the ruins is said to have been caused by the barking of a ghostly black dog.
