    The Castle is the name of the largest farm house in the district. It is owned now by Mr. Oliver Mc Farland.
    There are cellars in it. In one of these a rope hangs from a beam. A man was hanged by it during the "Uniting" (1800).
    King James II lodged in the Castle one night during the Siege of Derry (1689.).
