and its associated buildings are private. One of these buildings

mansion.

summer house complete with a fireplace, also a castellated boat house
on the shore of the Lough.
The ruins of the former Crom Castle

besieged by the Jacobites under Lord Galmoy in March 1689 and again in
July under general McCarthy. The house remained in the hands of the Crichton
family until it was accidentally burned down in 1764.
