History+
Around 1618, Sir Andrew Stewart, the second Lord Castlestewart, had this structure built. The Stewart family, whose origins lay in Scotland, played a role in the region. Later, Roughan Castle served as a retreat for Phelim O'Neill, the leader of the Irish Rebellion of 1641 in Ulster. In 1653, O'Neill was captured here, transferred to Dublin, and executed there for high treason.
