This castle is a typical tower house for the region, which was built in the 15th century. At that time it was used to protect the elongated estuary that separates Achill Island from the Corraun Peninsula. In the 16th century the building was one of the fortresses of the pirate queen Grace O'Malley (Gráinne Ni Mháille, also Granuaile).
