    Killna
    An ancient castle situated outside the town of Clonmellon, Wesmeath.
    Long ago there was only a big house in the place where the castle is situated. When the Chapmans came to live there each heir was supposed to build an addition to the house. This was done for many years and in place of the house now stands a castle. Those Chapmans were great friends of Lord Nelson & when all the landlords had to subscribe for erection of a pillar to him the Chapmans decided to build one themselves on the land. They also erected a pillar to Sir Walter Raligh.
