Standing a craggy rock, high above the Shannon Estuary, this was once the stronghold of the mighty O'Brien clan. Built in the 15th century, it was destroyed by Williamites in 1691. Legend tells of an evil witch who lit a candle every evening on the rock, whose light after nightfall slew all that saw it. The great warrior Finn MacCool, protected by an enchanted cap, scaled the rock rock and hurled the witches candle into the Shannon. Also on the inside cover of U2's Unforgettable Fire Album
