Formerly residence of Felim O Toole. Below the castle on the side of the road is a large stone. Near it one Andrew Thomas was in a cave hiding. Three yeomen discovered him. They were priest hunting. He killed two. He was shot and before capture broke his fine gun on the stone saying it would not be used against the Irish.
