- There is a very old castle in Mr. Ryan's field in Ballinaclough, Golden, Co. Tipperary.
You cannot climb up the stairs now but when my Dad was a little boy he used to run up to the top.
One fine day a cow was running from the flies. She took a fit of running and ran up the stairs in this castle. She got dizzy at the top and wanted to come down again, but she couldnt. She jumped through the window and was killed Then Mr Ryan had the stairs blocked up so nobody can go up to the top now.
