  1. Old Ruins

    Share Share Post
    There are the ruins of two old castles in this district, namely Castle Saunderson and Quivvy. Castle Saunderson is about three miles from Belturbet and Quivvy is about two-and-a-half. Castle Saunderson belonged to Colonel Saunderson and Quivvy belonged to Lord Lanesborough.
    It is about twenty years since anyone lived in either of them. In Castle Saunderson a few years ago the Cadets stayed for a few months in it during the time of the fighting in Ireland.
    During the time of the "Black and Tans" in Ireland.
