    Historical Events.
    Many centuries ago in pagan times some Druids had their hiding places in the grounds of Castle Howard, Avoca Parish, Connary Townland.
    There was a great forest there, and many wild animals deer, lions, tigers, and many others roamed in these forests.
    One day while some of the Druids were fighting, a lion sprang out and killed them and ever since that day, the place is called. "The Lions Archway."
