- In Kiltown there stands a shattered historic wall with beech trees on it and a gateway. That is the castle of Dens where Mass was said and that was where all infants were baptized. Those Dens are buried in Clough. Their seven tombs are side by side. Each one of the seven could save seven lives from the Duke of Leinster. There great-grand child is still alive. She is Colonel Keating's wife.
