History
A monastery called Magheranoidhe was built in the area c. 600 AD by a Saint Abban different from Abbán moccu Corbmaic. Following the Norman conquest of Ireland, the monastery became property of the Marshall family. The de Heddon and later Devereux families were granted control of it and the surrounding lands. A castle was built in the area by Adam Devereux, for who the village is named, in 1418. This castle was rebuilt in 1556 by Nicholas Devereux. The Adamstown estate later passed to the Earl of Albemarle, and later the Downes family by the 1800s.
