| MONEA CASTLE, COUNTY FERMANAGH.- The sketch presents a view of the ruined Castle of Monea, with "Crannoge" - a circular island, which formerly contained the habitations of primitive people, known as "Lake Dwellers" - in the County Fermanagh. The castle itself is not of great antiquity, being one of those built by the Anglo-Scotch "Colonists," popularly called "transplanters," who usurped, by favor of James I., the "confiscated" lands of the native Irish, defeated, after a long and heroic struggle, by the Earl of Mountjoy in the preceding reign. |
