- Quivy CastleQuivy Castle was a very grand building. It was burned down after the 1916 Rebellion. It was burned when the black and tans came. It was a very beautiful building, furniture, china and underground cellars of food, drink and ammunition were buried in the debris and destroyed. The walls are still sanding. There is a gatehouse, school house, boat house and the protestant church still to be seen at Quivy yet.
- DRUMLANE ABBEYDrumlane Abbey is up above Milltown. It has a round tower and it nearly touches the sky. It is very old. It is told that the angels built it in one night. There is also a graveyard at it and the people of today bury their dead in it. There is an old song which was composed by a local poet about Drumlane. This round tower is built in the style of ancient Ireland.
