    “Long ago there were many more thatched houses than there are presently.”

    Long ago there were many more tatched houses than there are presently. Houses were more numerous then but some of them went to ruins. Some people built new houses lately and bought the stones of the ruins for that purpose. People did not imagrate during the famine. Castleconnell is mentioned in the song "The Falls of Doonass" as the Falls are very near the Townland.
