Dough Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Lahinch, Ireland
The stone tower house stands near the mouth of the Inagh River, featuring five large windows and remaining walls of the original fortification.
The O'Connor clan established Dough Castle in 1306 as their primary fortress to control local land and sea traffic in County Clare.
The castle bears the Irish name Dumhach Ui Chonchuir and holds connections to the O'Connor clan, who maintained power in the Corcomroe region.
Located at West End, Lahinch, County Clare, the castle site requires careful observation from a safe distance due to structural instability.
The castle's foundation on sandbanks led to multiple structural failures, with a major section collapsing in 1839 and the chimney falling in 1883.
