  1. There is the ruins of a castle in Aghavrin. It was built by the McCarthy More of Muskerry. It is derelict about a hundred years. It was never attacked.
    There is a ruined church in Aghabullogue Graveyard. One night the slates were taken off it by the White Boys. There was a man living near it who took stones out of it to build his house.
    There is a stone near Olans Well with Ogham writing on it. It was used once for a bridge across the river that is flowing near it. There is also a few stones with Ogham writing on them in an old graveyard in Knockrour.
