    There is an old castle in Brize a few miles from Claremorris, it was owned by a man called Prendergast, in 1597 Clifford captured John Mac. Morris in Brize castle. The Prendergasts owned many castles but Brize was the head of all, all that remains of the castle is a few rocks, there are also a few passages underneath.
