  1. Luttrellstown Castle

    Share Share Post
    In Luttrellstown there are many ancient places. There is a place in it which we call the glen and in it there is a glen house. Long ago people used to live in it and every night at about 12 o'clock two men used to pass into every room in the house and every night a coach used to go by with two men sitting on the top of the coach with tall hats on their head and in that very same place people used to be hanged. In the glen there is a secret tunnel which runs out at Castleknock College and the remains of it is there yet.
