Dunlough Castle
Dunlough Castle is a small Norman-era stronghold of three rectangular stone keeps joined by a low curtain wall on the Mizen Peninsula in southwest Ireland. The towers sit on an isthmus between the Atlantic cliffs and a man-made lake dammed at the eastern shore. Founded in 1207 by the O'Mahonys, the complex defended the narrow land approach and remained in use through the early modern period.

As it stood in 1207
The shape it held in its prime.
Three plain, rectangular three-storey stone towers stand in a line connected by a low curtain wall running from western cliffs to an eastern lake; the wall is intermittently intact up to about 15 feet high. The towers are simple, with small slit windows and no surviving turrets or parapets. The site occupies a narrow isthmus with sheer cliffs dropping to the sea on one side and a dammed lake on the other; stone is local grey and built in dry masonry.
