3op. APPENDIX. 



The caftle of Clough, fituated in a Danifh fort, and 

 which I have fpoken of already on that account, has 

 a more antique appearance than any other I have feen ; 

 it has fUll part of a winding ftaircafe exifting, and muft 

 have been folely built for defence, as it was too fmall 

 for the refidence of a family of note ; the building of it

 formerly very large, but moft of it was pulled down 

 by Mr. Hawkins, the firft proteftant proprietor of it, 

 after the rebellion in 1641. Newcaftle has already 

 been mentioned ; to this may be added thofe built by 

 Colonel Monk, afterwards General, and Duke of Albe- 

 jnarle, on the pafles, which feparate this county from 



Armagh, namely, Scarvagh, Pointz, andTufcan pafles; 



there are ftill fome remains of thefe fortifications. 

 At Hillfborough, in Lower Iveagh, is a fmall caftle, 



formerly the gateway to a more extenfive fortification; 



the room over this is elegantly fitted up in the ancient 



ftile ; within the walls of a fquare fort, with baftions, 



is a beautiful green, and a walk round the rampart,
