    “Castleknock is called Cnuca.”

    Share Share Post
    Castlekock is called Cnuca. At the present time beside the Collage the ruins of the castle can still be found. A good many years a go during the time of Finn MacCumall. Finn and Con had an argument as to who owned the castle. They decided to have a battle.
    Both armies had to come half way and so they met at Castleknock. Finn was killed and Con won the battle.
