Current Streetview. OSI 6". According to wikipedia, it was " housing the US Army during World War II, and later being used as a dance hall during the 1950s and 1960s".

The current castle dates from 1839 according to the DIA but the interior of it was not finished as the owner Robert Ogilby died. "His successors took no interest in the castle and the partially-complete castle was neglected before it had even been finished." It was almost demolished by Limavady Council but on public outcry was instead renovated.

The ruins of the castle of Dungiven stand at the top of the street and are not very striking in themselves although standing on a slope they command some fine views in the valley This place was built in the time of James I with a fosse and mounds in front and flanked by two round towers The interior courts appear to have been well fortified but the work of ruin is so complete as to leave little but guesses to the non antiquarian.

Sharon Corbet Sharon, it looks like everyone but the two of us are off for the Easter weekend. I don't have much to add other than a vague memory about Dungiven Castle being associated with the song "Danny Boy"
