- A lonely tower house and bawn built around 1500 by MacTurlough O'Conner upon the site of an earlier 14th century fortification located from the village of Doolin, County Clare. In 1588, a ship of the Spanish Armada shipwrecked off the coast just below the castle and the town sheriff, Boetius MacClancy, arrested some 170 stranded Spaniards, then hanged them at the castle. They were buried at a nearby Iron Age barrow called Cnocán an Crochaire. By the early 19th century, the castle had fallen into disuse and disrepair, but then a counselor Gore renovated the castle. It had called into bad repair again by the mid 19th century before being purchased by Irish-American John C. Gorman, who turned the tower house into a private holiday home. It remains in the possession of the Gorman family to this day. (en)

The castle, under the defense of William Penn, was again seized in the Irish Confederate Wars. In 1712, the castle left the holding of the O'Briens when the Eighth Earl of Thomund sold it to the Studderts, who left it to fall into ruin when they moved to a nearby residence called "Bunratty House." In 1956 Viscount Lord Gort, with the help of the Irish Office of Public Works, purchased, restored and opened the castle to the public. Today, it remains in the care of the Shannon Heritage. (en)
- "Cabra Castle" refers to two structures. The first structure, thought to have been an O'Reily castle, was located west of Kingscourt, was destroyed and the land it stood on confiscated by Cromwell and given to Colonel Thomas Cooch.

However, the land the current castle stands on was at that time owned by the Fosters, another Ascendancy family, and it contained a small tower destroyed in the time of Cromwell house dubbed "Cormey Castle." This house was rebuilt in 1808, but its construction exhausted the funds of the Fosters so the property was sold to the Pratts. Today, the castle and estate functions as a hotel. (en)
