Description | Shirley refers to the confinement of John Leslie, Dean of Dromore, by Robert Maxwell, Sheriff of Monaghan, in his house at Falkland/Faulkland in 1707. The Maxwells occupied Faulkland Castle until 1780. By the time of Griffith’s Valuation it was valued at £1.6 shillings and was held by James Jackson Senior from the trustees of John Maxwell. The 25 inch map (surveyed 1908) shows the castle ‘in ruins’. |
