Aghamarta Castle

Standish lived at Aghamarta Castle in county Cork. On the property is the
ruin of the original Aghamarta Castle, built in the twelfth
century. Carew Smith O'Grady bought the 869 acre property in 1824 for
£1,200. The castle was in great disrepair, and the O'Grady's used stone from
the castle in the construction of the present mansion. The O'Grady's sold
the property in 1916.
In 1876, Standish O'Grady was granted a licence to plant oyster beds on 39
acres of the Owenboy
river (Inspectors of Irish Fisheries report 1886 p60).
