Carrickahowley Castle - County Mayo - Ireland
Carrickahowley Castle. A random small castle I found while driving down the road. Its got character lol. Enjoy!
Rockfleet Castle or Carraigahowley Castle (Carraig-an-Cabhlaigh) is a tower house 1km northwest from Newport. It was built in the mid 16th century, and is renowned for its links with the legendary Grainne ni Mhaille, Grace O'Malley, the pirate queen and chieftain of the clan O'Malley. It is one of five along the shores of Clew Bay that are associated with Grace O'Malley. Legend has it that she received her nickname Grainuaile, which came from Gaelic “Gráinne Mhaol” Mhaol meaning bald, by cutting her own hair so she could join her father on a trading expedition to Spain. Her father had refused to let the young Grainne accompany him citing that her long hair would get caught in the ships ropes. She lived in the castle after she married her second husband Sir Richard Burke (Richard the Iron, 'Iron Dick') in 1566, whom she had married on the understanding that after one year either could divorce the other. Tradition maintains that, at the end of the years’ duration, she locked him out of his castle and, from the ramparts, shouted down “Richard Bourke I divorce thee”. Thereafter, the castle would be indelibly linked with her legend, and she would live here. Grace expanded her clan's efforts from trade to piracy. She then set up her own army and had a fleet of privateers, with which she harried the coastal trade from her island, and extracted pilotage fees and cargo levies from all the passing shipping until she had a virtual monopoly on the sea trade of the west coast of Ireland. So fearless was she that when she was shut out of Howth Castle because his Lordship was having dinner, she kidnapped his son, only restoring him to his family when she was assured that the doors would always be kept open at mealtimes, a custom maintained to this day. It is known that Rockfleet Castle remained in the possession of Grainne until her death in this Castle in 1603. Today she is buried at her home on Clare Island and the Castle remained in the O'Malley Clan for centuries to follow.
Rockfleet Castle has four floors and is over 18m in height. There are some interesting features in the castle. The middle two floors are of wood and the top floor is stone flagged, the barrel vaulted ceiling is a fine example of this construction technique. The stone floor may have been included here as a fire safety device. A wooden ladder is used to access the second floor and from there to the top there is a spiral stone stairway.
Today it is freely open to the public.

Ireland's Grace O'Malley Castle - GHOST Voice
This real event occurred to me on June 24, 2006, at Rockfleet Castle, County Mayo, Ireland on the Atlantic Ocean Coast. We were by ourselves in a fairly isolated spot. Karen was outside and I was the only one (?) in this 16th Century restored structure.
The voice will be heard at about 1:43 into this video. At this point in this unedited section of the digital recording made on an Olympus Digital Voice Recorder (ws-320M) I say, Grace O'Malley would have looked down from this very window... A rumbling sound is heard and then what appears to be a male voice says something perhaps in Irish...I did not initially hear this voice until I was home and listened to my recordings. Needless to say it raised the hair on the back of my neck the first time I listened to it....

Historical information outside Rockfleet Castle
Rockfleet Castle, or Carrickahowley Castle (Irish: Carraig an Chabhlaigh), is a tower house near Newport in County Mayo, Ireland. It was built in the mid-sixteenth century, and is most famously associated with Gráinne O'Malley, the pirate queen and chieftain of the clan O’Malley.
Rockfleet Castle has four floors and is over eighteen metres in height. It is open to the public; the key is available at the nearby farm. The castle was installed with a metal walkway in 2015, from its adjacent grassland surrounding to its door, due to the sheer inconvenience of accessing its entrance during high tides.
