  1. Kiltinan Castle is built near the Clashauley, on a rock about two hundred feet high, over the river bed.There is a grand straight avenue leading to it, from the road, with huge oak trees on each side. In olden times we are told, there used to be a court martail held in some part of the castle. A few people were hanged there; one poor woman had a boy whom she could not control, and to her sad grief she brought him there to be corrected, and he was hanged from the bough of a big tree; this bough no one would cut for years, but lately it was causing an obstruction, as it was hanging down over the bye-road and had to be cut. This road is known to this day as "Bóthar na gcroice"
