  1. Old Ruins

    Share Share Post
    An old Castle stands below Ballygar. It is Castle Kelly.
    A round tower and the ruins of many other buildings that are there. It is said that when O'Sullivan Beare crossed this County it was there he slept on that night. A Protestant Church stood near that place but it now pulled down. That place is six miles from this school.
