- Clounmellane Castle
Clounmellane Castle was built by the same man that built Molahiffe Castle. It is in the townland of Clounmellane, in the parish of Firies, in the barony of Magunihy, and in the county of Kerry. It is in the farm of James Counihan. It was built about the year 1220 and it was knocked again about four hundred and twenty nine years after. It was the Cromwellian soldiers that blew it up in the year sixteen fifty one. The castle is knocked to the ground.
Near the castle there was a little school and church in olden times. There isn't a sign of it to be seen now. It was owned by St. Aidan. When the castle was blown up the people in it were blown up too.Michael Curtin
