Early history of Durrus and District : ウィキペディア英語版 | Early history of Durrus and District
The village of Durrus with its surrounding townlands is a geographical entity of West Cork, Ireland, inhabited by humans since Neolithic times. ==Prehistory to sixteenth century== Neolithic (3500–1500 BC) monuments at Coolcoulagha and at Dunmanus are a testimony of a significant pre-Celtic population in the area. In 1700–1500 BC copper was mined at Mount Gabriel and at Derrycarhoon, suggesting that the local population was already integrated in the commercial web of continental Europe. Later on, around 500 BC, the Celts started arriving in a process that lasted for quite some time slowly overlaying the local population who adopted their language and culture. The Annals of Innisfallen state that St. Ciarán of Cape Clear came back to his native place from Rome in 402 AD and introduced Christianity to the South West. The new religion became firmly established and intermingled with old practices. By the sixth century a number of St.Finbarr's disciples including Cairne, Fiontan, and Eothail (who lived at Ard Eochill near Kilcrohane) were living in Muintir Bhaire. Some time the sixth or seventh century the family now known as the O'Mahonys from the Eoghanach in North Munster arrived in the area. By the eighth century they were well settled in Muintir Bhaire. The McCarthys arrived in the twelfth century also from the Eoghanach. In 1185 they secured lands of the O'Mahonys but remained on good terms with them. Tadhg Rua McCarthy built a castle at Scart, now demolished, he was called Tadhg Rua na Scairte and the family later built Cul na Long, the fortified castle some outside Durrus. The O'Donovans also arrived in the twelfth century and secured some of the O'Mahony lands. By 1190 the 'grey foreigners' (Normans), had reached as far west as Durrus but were repulsed by the ''Desmumu'' (people of South Munster).
