- When Cromwell came to take Muff Castle he shelled it fourteen days, failing to make a breach in the walls. A man named Dogherty then told where there was a keystone, and when this stone was fired at, a breach was made and the castle taken. As a reward for his services Dogherty got the townland of Corravillis. All the castles of Ireland were knocked down by Cromwell except the castle of Gormanstown.
