That’s definitely a low key castle….

The Mac Diarmada were the ruling dynasty of Magh Luirg (Moylurg; northeast Connacht) from the 10th to 16th centuries. A castle stood on this island from the 12th century: in 1184, the Annals of Loch Cé report that a lightning bolt caused a fire: Wow didnt expect for it to be that old. Stunning.
"In 2018, the castle was put up for sale for €80,000."

Castle in the Sky.

The Rock of Loch-Cé was burned by lightning, i.e. the
very magnificent, kingly residence of the descendents of Máel Ruanaid
where neither goods nor people of all that were
there found protection; where six score, or seven score, of
distinguished persons were destroyed, along with fifteen
men of the race of kings and chieftains, with the wife of
Mac Diarmada, i.e. the daughter of Ó hEidhin, and his
son’s wife, i.e. the daughter of Domhnall O’Conchobhair,
and the daughter of Ó Dubhda, and the son of Donnchadh
O’Maelbhrenuinn, and the son of Donn O’Mannachain,
and the two daughters of O’Mannachain, and Mac Maenaigh,
chieftain of Cenél-Builg, and the priest O’Maelbealtaine,
and Gillachiarain Ó Connachtain, (i.e. a son of
chastity and lamp of piety), and a countless destruction
besides of good men; and every one of them who was not
burned was drowned in this tumultuous consternation,
in the entrance of the place; so that there escaped not
alive therefrom but Conchobar mac Diarmata with a
very small number of the multitude of his people.[3]
