Castletown, historically called Ballycaslane (Irish: Baile an Chaisleáin),[1] is a small village in northeast County Wexford, Ireland.

[citation needed] Castletown is close to several beaches (Saleen, Clone, Kilpatrick and Kilmichael) and the pub called the "Golden Anchor".

Its origins date back to the early days of the Irish War of Independence, when IRA fighting columns who had been training near by went for drinks in the Golden Anchor pub.

Each year a commemorative rally is held in village to honour those who drank in the Golden Anchor.

[citation needed] The meeting was first held in 1970 and only failed to commence on two occasions in 1984 and 2010 when snow halted processions.
