Dunboy Castle (Irish: Caisleán Dhún Baoi) is a ruined 15th-century castle on the Beara Peninsula in south-west Ireland near the town of Castletownbere.[1][2] The castle's tower house and bawn were destroyed in the 1602 Siege of Dunboy, though its ruins remain open to the public.
A later manor house, historically known as Puxley Mansion but sometimes also referred to as Dunboy Castle, was built close to the castle ruins during the 19th century.[3]
