  1. Heathstown Castle

    Share Share Post
    There is an old Castle above at Heathstown some people say it is Heathstown House. It is on Harris' land. It is in the townland of Kilrush and it is in the Barony of Delvin.
    I do not know whether it was attacked at any time. It is all in ruins now and all the doors and windows are gone out of it. The was no dungeon in it long ago.
