#galleyhead

You can just make out the ruin of the main tower of Dundeady Castle peeking over the corner of the bungalow. There is a second smaller tower on the cliff top over looking the cove that is part of a perimeter wall. Presumably the galleys were kept in this cove which gave Galleyhead its name. They would have been used to collect royalties from passing ships and fishing boats for the Barry Roe clan who occupied the castle.

 Castle Cove in Dundeady townland just behind the lighthouse was my destination. This is the old 25″ OSI map of Dundeady/ Galley head. Although created over a hundred years ago, you can see these maps are incredibly accurate and still useful. I have drawn an x in red to show where I was moored for the night on the lower satelite image.

Oh you, beauty.

Can you imagine...There was no one around when we went to this stunning lighthouse. #ontdekierland #galleyhead (bij Galley Head Lighthouse) https://www.instagram.com/claireonline/p/BuoeAW6F1bU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14anaqdssdi0w
