Dunboy Castle in West Cork was the last stronghold of Irish resistance after Kinsale. Carew besieged and took it; the garrison fought to the last and was executed. O'Sullivan Bere himself was absent and subsequently led the famous winter march of 1602–3 — retreating with 400 soldiers and 600 civilians northward through winter mountains to Connacht. Only 35 survived.
