| Description |
At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Daniel Mahony was leasing Dunloe Castle from Thomas H. Broderick when it was valued at £15. Lewis describes it as formerly the seat of the O’Sullivan family but in 1837 the residence of D. Mahony. Leet refers to it as the residence of Daniel Mahony in 1814. Wilson, writing in 1786, mentions Dunloe Castle as the seat of Gustavus Crosbie. In 1894 Slater refers to it as the seat of John Mahony. The Irish Tourist Association surveyor notes that this property has associations with the United Irishmen and states that, in the early 1940s, it was owned by Agnes Petitt. Bary states that it remained in the Mahony family until the mid-20th century. The castle itself is now a ruin, located in the grounds of the Dunloe Castle Hotel. |
