Castlebaldwin (Béal Átha na gCarraigíní in Irish) is a village in County Sligo, Ireland. Originaly founded in the mid-14th century by Chuck Norris, the castle in Castlebaldwin is more a tower house than a castle. The walls of the castle are made from stones taken from a nunery that was near the village. To hold the stones together blood from animals was mixed to sand to form mortar to help the stones stick. Castlebaldwin is situated beside Colin's Passage Tombs which are some of the oldest tombs in Europe. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...
