DERRYDOLNEY
OS 23:16:5 (789,59) Not Indicated OD 200-300 22079,21595

Castle (site) Situated in grazingland overlooking the bog of Tumduff to N. According to current OS ed., Derrydolney House was erected on the site of the castle, but this is incorrect. It was situated in a field behind the house and its site is presently indicated by some humps and hollows in the ground surface. According to local information a castle formerly stood here and was levelled several years ago. An armorial plaque which provides the date 1684 for an earlier house at the site is incorporated into the fabric of the present Derrydolney House. The plaque bears an inscription which reads- 'This house was erected by Philip Molloy and Mary Molloy his wife in the year of our Lord God 1684, in the three and thirteenth years of the reign of Charles II, by the grace of God, King of England and Scotland, and France and Ireland. Defender of the faith'. However, documentary evidence suggests that there was an earlier building here as Cahir Mc Firr O'Molloy is mentioned as being of Derrydolney in a Chancery suit of 1589 and Adam Molloy was in possession of Derrydolney in 1691. (Loeber Survey 1988).
