    There are ruins of a castle between the townland of Boho and Castleehan. This village gets its name from this castle, and Teehan was a man that lived in the castle.
    Near this castle there are several hills and hollows and big square stones like tombstones. During the Penal Days and during the Famine in Ireland people were buried near this castle.
    Lights are to be seen in this place at night time, and several people went astray in it. There are leading places also under this from a cave this is in our land.
