    About ninety years ago the castle fell into the hands of the Parish Priest who dwelt in the adjoining dwelling house. This residence, by the orders of Lord Castletown, was always kept thatched. Some twenty years ago the thatched roof accidentally took fire and the house was burned down leaving nothing but a ruin.
