- Carroll's Castle
I heard my father and a lot of other old men talking one night about cut stones that Pat Halloran of Killawardy had found when they were making a fence near Halloran's house.
My father said that a man named Carroll had a castle there in bygone days. The castle was downed and these were the stones that the Hallorans dug up.
Michael Egan, Park, Killea, aged 60 years.I always heard the old people saying there is a gold serpent buried in the Hill of Grange.
