- No 27There is an old and a little castle in the Demesne owned by Christopher Wandesforde. They were the stronghold of his territory. When Cromwell in 1649 devided the land the Wandesfordes received the present parishes of Clough Castlecomer and Muckalee. The little castle was repaired by Summerville who owned a big tract of land in loon.
