    it difficult for the enemy to shoot in.
    When the Mc Carthy's were being hunted they deposited all their gold in the Lake, and it is said a lady appeared on a white horse on this Lake every seven years after.
    The large hall inside the main door was called the Reception Hall where a beautiful marble fireplace can still be seen.

  2. "Blarney Castle stands up straight
    Built upon a rock so neat,
    And the Blarney boys are underneath,
    Playing "The Groves of Blarney".
    Blarney Castle, my Darling,
    It's nothing at all but a stone,
    With a small little taste of old ivy,
    Around the Sasenach's stone".
