1835	I visited Green Castle, which is called New-Castle on Mercators map and Caislen Nuadh by the peasantry. It is a splendid ruin and a grand specimen of a Norman castle, but its history seems buried in the mist of antiquity. It was built by the Red Earl in 1305. In 1332, Walter, the son of Sir William Burke was made prisoner by the Dun Earl and brought to the New Castle of Inishowen in the prison of which he afterwards died of hunger.
