Fishburn and Hughes: "An Irish coastal district in the county of Waterford, Munster, containing the remains of a castle built by King John. The castle, annexed to the Crown by Henry VIII, had a long history of aggression, culminating in its sack by Cromwell in 1649. In 1846, during the Great Famine, Dungarven was the scene of a riot against the export of grain." (63)
