  1. Drawing of castle and crest
    This Norman castle belonged to a man named Peter Lynch. It was destroyed by Cromwell and his followers and the owner was shot in a wood nearby. A girl is supposed to appear every night in white robes at a well near the castle in which she hid a crock of gold and later was killed by the English.
    Peter Lynch was a Roman Catholic and had a chapel fron for himself and his household. It was also destroyed.
