On the banks of a small natural harbour within Dunmanus Bay, you can explore the lower level of Dunmanus Castle. Access to the upper levels, where the living quarters were, was only possible through the first floor door (above and to the left of the ground floor entrance) so sadly cannot be reached today. It was built by the O'Mahony Clan in the early 15th century.

The ruins of the 15th-century O’Mahony Tower stand on the edge of Dunmanus Bay. The castle once guarded the bay and the trade routes along the south coast of West Cork. Today, it stands as a striking, weathered silhouette in the open coastal landscape.
