- Churchtown- the local churchyard is situated about half a mile from the village of Castletown.
It is so called from the ruins of a Church which still remains there.
Old people of the place tell us that the last priest who lived beside this Church - "Father Paddy" as they call him, was married and had two sons.
They also tell us that there were twenty-three houses from Castletown to Danganroe at the time. Mr Price was landlord. He got them all evicted and they were hunted out the same as you would drive a flock of cattle or sheep to the fair, and their houses were levelled to the ground.
Most of them went to America and it is supposed that they were drowned, as it took them three months to cross the ocean.
