"The castle of Don Isle, situated on the sea-coast beyond Tramore, was bravely defended by a lady.
It was built on a rock almost inaccessible, and judging from the ruins still remaining,
it must have been a place of prodigious strength. It is situated on the coast, between
Tramore and Dungarvon. History records that it made a gallant defense, holding out for a long time
against the attacks of a fierce soldiery well provided with artillery; but that it yielded at length
and was destroyed."
