Carrigaphooca  Castle The MacCarthys of Carrigaphooca were constantly  engaged in internecine warfare. They sided with the  Crown in 1602 and their stronghold was consequently attacked by Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare. After a difficult  siege the huge wooden door of the castle burned down.  The garrison was set free and O'Sullivan Beare retrieved a chest of Spanish gold he had presented to the  MacCarthys some months earlier in return for their support against the English. The castle was subsequently owned by the MacCarthys  of Drishane until forfeited in 1690. 5x7 in 8x10 mat $19.75   8x12 in 12x16 mat $39.50
