    Old ruins.
    There is a castle beyond in Toreen and the Bradys knocked it the time of the Black an Tans.The Mac Allans brought slates and timber and slated a barn from it.
    There was another very big one beyond in Torcanna and no one was living in it.It was kept up adn in repair by the Nunans. Gentlemen used call now and again live in it for a start.It was a fine castle but the Black and Tans knocked it to the ground and some of its stones are there still
