Carrignass Castle is the impressive remains of an imposing 16th century tower and walled courtyard situated on the ouvane river. Built in 1541, it was the ancestral home of the O'Sullivan Beare Clan and in 1602 the Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare led his followers passed its gates on a march to leitrim that would see him join the flight of the earls from Ireland.

Kealkils stone circle can be reached on foot from here and the castle is also connected to the sheep's head way and St. Finbars way.
