Ardmire

Ardmire was the Ó Dochartaigh chiefry in the Laggan around Raphoe in eastern Donegal. In the fourteenth century the clan held lands within the Gaelic kingdom of Tyrconnell, as vassals of the O'Donnells.

After 1359 Conor-an-Einigh O Dochartaigh became the first of the family to settle in Inishowen, where the O'Dohertys became lords early in the fifteenth century. Their rule ended in 1608, when Cahir O'Doherty rebelled and died at Kilmacrennan; the clan's lands were confiscated for the Ulster plantation.
