Description :
A four-storey tower standing in a square turreted bawn built early in the 16th century on a beautiful site on Sheep Haven Bay by MacSweeney na d'Tuath, foster father of Red Hugh O'Donnell. Note that the moat on the landward side has been hewn out of the rock.
Fairs are held on the 10th of every month at Creeslough, and there are others at Dunfanaghy. A manor court is occasionally held, at which small debts are recoverable. At Sheep Haven is a coast guard station, one of the seven constituting the district of Dunfanaghy. Within the limits of the parish is the point called Horn Head, in latitude 55o 12’ 50” (N.) and longitude 7o 58’ 20” (W.); and between it and the peninsula of Rossgull or Rosguill is Sheep Haven, off the eastern side of which are several rocks above water, the outermost of which, nearly two miles west of Melmor Point, is called Carrickavrank Rock.
