In the great rebellion of 1641, Teige O'Driscoll of Collimere, and Dermogh O'Driscoll of Innisshirkin, at the head of two hundred men, of whom forty were armed with muskets, and had four rounds of ammunition a man, joined with the forces, under the command of Tom Coppinger, of Copplebeg; [1] and the entire body, consisting of upwards of three hundred men, inclusive of seventy musketeers, attacked the castle of Baltimore, three hours before day break, on the 15th of August, 1642.

The castle was full of people. Governor Bennett willingly afforded the shelter of its walls to those hapless creatures whom the rebels had forced from their homesteads, and when Coppinger and the O'Driscolls marched against it, it contained no less than two hundred and fifteen souls. The assault was unsuccessful. Indeed so disheartened were the insurgents at their complete failure, that they drew off before sunrise; and thus the garrison and the helpless inmates escaped without the loss of a life, or even a drop of blood.

• In the Dublin Penny Journal for March 26, 1836, is publish an account by the Cork antiquary, John Windele, of an alleged O'Driscoll castle, together with an illustration of it, situated at one time in some part of West Cork, in the Durrus direction, near the Cape of Connella, all trace of which has disappeared. It is somewhat difficult to decide whether this castle ever existed. The account relates however that the last O'Driscoll owner of this castle lived at an extravagant rate till about the end of the 18th century, when he was shot dead by some emissaries of the law. He left a son, illegitimate in the eyes of the law, his mother having been a Protestant, and united in marriage by a Catholic priest, instead of by a parson. The property was therefore claimed by the Davidsons, the next heirs, and although Florence, the son, was brought up a Protestant, he failed to establish his claim to his paternal property, though aided by so influential a person as Foster, the last Speaker of the Irish House of Commons. Quitting Ireland in disgust, Florence O'Driscoll entered the Austrian Army and fell in some Continental skirmish; while the Davidsons threw down the castle and demolished every last vestige of it.
