    Hse. also is the birthplace of Nano Nagle, the foundress of the presentation Order of Nuns. The Nagle mountains which are named after the Nagles were owned by them. About three miles further is Castletownroche which gets its name from a castle erected there by the Roche family - Lords of Fermoy. There are two great buildings in Castletownroche which deal with the Cromwellian period in Ireland namely Castle Widenham and Bridgetown Abbey. Bridgetown Abbey is situated one mile south of Castletownroche. It is overgrown with ivy and standing at the confluence of the Awbeg and Blackwater.
