Charletons FollyCharletons Folly is situated between Ballinalee and Edgeworthstown. It was built by a very rich man named Charleton but it was not finished owing to death of owner. It is a ruin now and cattle seek the shade in summer within its walls. Charleton was a very rich man and every labourer in Co. Longford that would get married would get 15 to £20 - Flemmings FollyFlemmings Folly is situated between Ballinenagh and Cavan.Flemming was not of sound mind but he was rich. He built this tower in order that he could see the Atlantic Ocean but he died before the tower was completed.
