    Share Share Post
    There were not many historical movements in my district. One of the historical movements in my district was when the Black and Tans were in Ireland There is a place between Carron and Turlough called Caipear pass and there were a great many black and Tans killed there.
    There is an old castle in Turlough and Cromwell knocked it.
    There is also an old castle in castle-town and the townland is called castletown after the castle. Hugh O'Donell and his army raided it the year 1599.
