The following text is included in the panel: The entrance to Knock Na Moe Hotel is close to this site. Built in 1875 for the Stack family as the Knock Na Me Castle, it was requisitioned by the US Army 34th Division in 1942 during World War I. The Castle was turned into a hotel in the 1960s and it became a popular venue for dances and live music featuring many Showbands including Derrick and the Sounds, The Plattermen and singers such as Phil Lynott, Rory Gallagher and Don McLean. It was gutted by fire in the early 1990s and was subsequently demolished in 1994 Did you ever go to Knock Na Me for a night out? Who was your favourite band or performer?
