Description
Donegal Castle (National Monument) is an imposing ruin situated on the rocky bank of the River Eske. The chief seat of the O'Donnells, princes of Tir Chonaill, it fell into English hands in 1607. The large square keep (1505) was then altered by the insertion of windows, and a splendid fireplace carved with coats of arms was constructed on the main floor. In 1610 a fortified manor house was built on to the tower.
