    Not far from my house are the ruins of Conna Castle. It was built by the Sugán Earl in the year 1561. It was built on a rock on the bank of the river Bride. Conna Castle was about eighty feet high but the top of it was knocked off by Cromwell with a Cannon ball and it is said that some of the stones are still lodged in the field opposite the Doctors residence.
    The castle passed into the possession of a Mr Lestrange and when dying he left the castle to the Government and it is well cared since. Mr O Mahony Conna is caretaker and he is paid twenty pound a year for taking care of the castle and grounds. Visitors are admitted to the castle on payment of an admission fee of sixpence.
