The Light House
(s.n. John Connell

|
1844 |
Light House. In former times this was the only house of entertainment on the road from Kanturk to Castleisland. A light was kept up in it to guide persons who might be crossing the mountains after night. From this circumstance it got the name Light House, which it still retains.
