  1. An Old Castle

    Share Share Post
    There is an old castle in Kilclooney beside my village. It is very old and there are many old stories connected with it and those who lived in it.
    It is said that a family were living there called the O' Flaherty's. It is said that the O' Flaherty's were a great tribe in this part of the country long ago.
    This castle was about four story high. But it is only two now. If you went up to the top of it you could see a load of things around you. It is like a little green garden on the top of it. You could walk around on top of it too.
