English: Carrignacurra Castle, Inchigeelagh Carrignacurra Castle was built a little before 1500 to defend a ford across the River Lee about 1.5 km east of Inchigeelagh village. It replaced an earlier ringfort type structure which also housed the local (O'Leary) chieftain and his retainers. The name, Carrignacurra, probably comes from Carraig na Choradh - Rock of the weir. There was an eel weir on the River Lee here in 17th century.
