    who were living in the castle
    and they tried to frighten him.
    They did not want anyone to know that they were living in the castle.
    The man's name who went in the castle was Tom Devereix. One day a little boy went in the castle and found some money. When he was coming out a man caught him and locked him up in the castle.
    The castle was built with terrible big stones. It is strange to say there is no monastery or tower in this district. It was a very high castle all covered with ivy outside. The castle was knocked down afterwards and a man by the name of Tommy White has five ornamented stones belonging to it.
