    about the year 1650. There are still a few stones left there.
    About a mile from the village of Castletown there was a Monastery which is called Monaghanstown Monastery. It is situated in the parish of Castletown. During the penal days monks lived in this Monastery which adjoined a cave. On one occasion the priest hunters got information that they were in it so they went and burned it. But luckily enough there was another opening to the cave and the monks escaped through it.
