		The Castle had been built sometime in the period 1450 to 1500, and had so far escaped without use of its formidable defence systems.
		It was quite usual for castles to be garrisoned by a small but strong fighting force under a Constable, and this had been the case with Dunboy, Donal Cam himself being in residence in Ardea Castle about 10 miles over the mountains.
		Apparently he was lowered down the Castle walls on knotted sheets, and disappeared into the night, which seems remarkable for a man of 72.

		The castle was renovated and modernized, but none of the electric lights were on, and there were candle sconces on the walls, all unlit.
