Clenagh Castle
Clenagh Castle was built towards the end of the sixteenth century by a branch of the McMahon family. The first mention of Clenagh in history comes from an inquisition held on the death of Toirdhealach O'Brien in October 1611 when Toirdhealach McMahon of Clenagh is named as one of the jurors. Legend states that Maire Rua O'Brien was born in Clenagh Castle in 1615 and spent much of her yourh here. The last resident of Clenagh, Colonel Donough McMahon of the Austrian army broke the stairs when he was forced to leave Ireland due to his involvement in Jacobite plots. He ensured that the castle would never be used as a residence again. Donough died in Australia in 1753.
