  1. A Castle

    Share Share Post
    In the townland of Ballyara, in the parish of Cloonacool in the barony of Leyney are the remains of an old castle. In 1397 O'Connor Don erected a castle in the place after defeating the O'Connors Sligo the MacDonaghs and the O'Dowds. It is not known how it has been derelict. There is a cemetery now in the place. It is thought that the townland is called after it "Baile Uí Eadra" in Irish.
