- " Like a huge round tower in the ocean wild,
In the midst of the ocean spray
Glasheedy shoots out from the briny waves
And smiles on Pollan Bay.

Erected by one McFaul ( Ó Maelfabhaill )
Now all that remains is the crumbling spire
Of that once majestic hall, "

When this castle was first built it is not exactly known but who ever erected it chose a very suitable spot, because even yet there is not a road within three miles of it and it is almost impossible to land a ship beside it. According to our tradition McFaul was the eleventh descendant of young Prince Eoghain son of Niall of the Nine Hostages. When the Danes came to Ireland in the tenth century it seems they landed somewhere near Carraig Braichaidhe and in the year of 1918 A.D. the chief bard and poet of Ireland at that time was Flann Mac Lonan tells this story about Carraig Braichaidhe.
