“Drumnamahane”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

It derives its name from the Irish 'Dromainn', meaning a 'ridge',^[3] and 'na Meatháin', the genitive case pertaining to the family name, Mahon, or O'Mahon. Therefore an English translation would be 'Mahon's/ O'Mahon's Ridge'.

The most striking architectural feature of the area is a large tower house, now totally derelict.^[4]

It belonged to Stephen McEgan and was made over to Nicholas White during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland when the latter was awarded lands in Ireland. It is a square castle 47 ft by 35 ft and the walls are 7 ft thick. It belongs to the 14th century. It was originally five storeys high, with the second floor resting on a stone arch. The walls were well grouted and the stone staircase passed through the thickness of the south and east walls. The windows were rectangular and constructed of chiselled limestone.^[5]
