    There are the ruins of an old castle in the school district. It is said to be about five hundred years old. It was built by a chieftain called O'Connor who afterwards resided there. hence it got its name O'Connors Castle. it is derelect for the past one hundred years. It is situated in the townland of Drumfin, in the parish of Riverstown, in the barony of Tiercrell and in Co Sligo
    Although the castle is now in ruins there is a house beside it and the O'Connor family reside there. The castle was not besieged or attacked at any time.
