- Lohort Castle was built in the reign of King John, Percevel had it garrisoned during 1641 but Irish gained it by treachery and held it until about the end of the war when Wallen destroyed it by cannon
It remained in ruins untill 1750 when the Earl of Egmont had it repaired. It had a moat crossed by a drawbridge.
The sword of Sir Alex McDonald, killed at Knocknanoss was deposited there. In 1848 Ring Money was disinterred within a short distance of Lohort.
Lohort sold about 1890 to Sir T. C. OBrien.
