De Courcey Castle on the Old Head of Kinsale is the remnant of a medieval stronghold of the Norman family De Courcy, built on a much older coastal fort; today, what remains is mainly the long, weathered defensive wall with towers that guarded the access to the headland, a rugged silhouette above the cliffs that makes the strategic role of the Old Head clear at a glance, although the whole is now within the grounds of the golf course and is only visible from the access road.
