Places of Historical Interest


A big thank you to Pat Keane, Deputy Principal of St. Colman's College,
who took the following photos and kindly shared them with us.

Above are the two standing stones, at Branraduff and Newtown, Ballindine.

Two shots of the megalithic tomb in Lisduff, Irishtown.


The old church ruins at Kilvine.
This is the name of our parish. Read more about the origins of Kilvine

Church remains at Cloonmore, Ballindine and the Moated remains of Castlereagh Castle

At the time of the Composition of Connaught (Surrender and regrant)
the occupier of Castlereagh was Walter Óg Mac Roru, a decendant of Muiris Súgach Mac Gearailt de Prendergast.
He gave us the Morris in Claremorris and the garrett in Castlemacgarrett and the Mac Morris clann
and the barony of Clanmorris.

The Third class paid a visit to our local fort near the school.
Here we saw the souterrain beside the fort
and we took this photo. Fort
