Carraickabraghy Castle : Ballyliffin |

Address :
Isle of Doagh
Surrounding Area :

Description :
On a large rock, named the Friars Rock in the Isle of Doagh, stands the ruins of Carraickabraghy Castle.
There is some confusion about the origin and date of this Castle but it is commonly accepted that it was
erected before 1600 by Phelemy Brasleigh O'Doherty. At that time Carrickabraghy was almost an island with
little ground separating it from the mainland.
To find Carrickabraghy Castle, take the Isle of Doagh road just outside Ballyliffin and keep driving until
you reach the end of the road where you will see remains of the castle set amongst the beach and the rocks
