Ritual site - holy well, An Fearann (Tc An Daingean)

What it said · 149 of 228 words

Right beside the road here in Dingle, in the backyard of a house on The Mall, you have St. John's Well. It was a holy well where rounds were made each year on the 24th of June, up to about 1900. The ritual involved kneeling at the well to say five paters and five aves, then walking three circuits of the well while saying a rosary, followed by a prayer to the patron, kneeling again at the well. For the full ritual this was repeated nine times, and pebbles were used to count the rounds. The well was said to cure many ailments. Rags were hung on a thorn tree beside it, now gone. A small pillar stone stands at the well, about 0.41 metres high, bearing a Latin cross with expanded terminals on its north face and the initials FD carved beneath the cross in fairly recent times. A legend tells that water was drawn from the well and set to boil, but it could not be heated. A trout was found in the pot, and both water and trout were returned to the well. An ogham stone was reportedly discovered in an adjacent wall and moved near the railway station, though nothing more is known of it. One account said the cross-slab itself bore the ogham inscription, but no traces of scores remain on the stone.

Fourteen killed when troops fire on Dingle mob

What it said · 299 of 299 words

Somewhere around here, in 1793, thousands of armed insurgents entered Dingle to swear the inhabitants to their cause. They had proclaimed at their chapels and by posted notices that they would meet in great numbers on St. John's day, the 24th of June, and carry all their plans into execution. Mr. Mullins got 70 soldiers from Limerick, who marched into Dingle the day before the intended meeting, and he gave public notice that he would oppose them. The insurgents were not deterred. They entered the town in immense numbers, armed with guns, pistols, swords, pikes, and scythes mounted on poles. Mr. Mullins, desirous to prevent the effusion of blood, remained in the barrack with the troops till three o'clock, though the insurgents were two hours in possession of the town. But when they began to commit acts of violence on the inhabitants and their houses, he marched out. The mob fired on the soldiers and pelted them with stones. The troops fired back, killing 14 of the insurgents and wounding many. The crowd dispersed and fled, and did not stop until they arrived at some cliffs over the sea, ten miles off. They would not return till they had made peace with the magistrates. Most of them gave information one against another, and they swore that their intention was to have killed all the protestant gentlemen and to have confiscated their estates. It was proved afterwards that this plot was general in the county of Kerry and extended even to the county of Limerick, with persons stationed at Tralee and Tarbert ready to convey the news so that all the inhabitants of that immense tract of country might have risen at the same moment. The exemplary punishment of these insurgents kept the county of Kerry peaceful for years afterward.

Children's burial ground, Baile An Tsagairt (Tc Na Gleannta)

What it said · 132 of 132 words

Right here on this hillock between Dingle Harbour and Trabeg is a children's burial ground, known as An Cheallúnach or An Lisín. A church once stood within the circular enclosure, but no trace of it survives and nothing more is known about it. Children were still being buried here in the mid-1800s. A low cairn of stones, much of it quartz, lies about 13 metres east of the enclosure, and beyond that again are "other tombs with great unshapen stones half buried." The burial ground is enclosed by an earthen bank with a drystone wall added sometime between the 1840s and 1890s. You enter by stiles at the north and south-west. Ogham stones were placed here in recent times, and the interior holds a confusion of low mounds and upright grave markers.

Right here at An Ghairfeaigh in Kerry is the site of a holy well called Toberaroon, the well of the secret, also known as Tobar Ghobnait. The field where it sat has been reclaimed and the spring is no longer evident. People were still visiting on Easter Sunday until at least 1960. A recent inspection found a small clear spring in a dense willow copse, flowing out into the stream.

The well itself is gone from view, but the ground still holds the water where it stood.

What it said · 85 of 85 words

Right here is a children's burial ground, within a large oval earthen bank on the valley floor. The ruins of Templemartin church, or Teampall Mártain, stand in the eastern part of the enclosure. Children were buried here until the early part of the twentieth century, though no graves or markers are visible now. The banked enclosure holds the foundations of three or four rectangular house sites and a possible souterrain. The bank stands up to 2.4 metres high on the outside and 1.4 metres inside.

Burial ground, Arda Mór (Tc Cinn Aird)

What it said · 115 of 115 words

Right here beside the road is the old burial ground at Arda Mór, a roughly circular enclosure on the north bank of the Glaunshavanowen river. Bones have been uncovered here in the past, and locally people have always thought of it as a graveyard. It's ringed by a stone-topped earthen bank, though part of that has been lost to a field wall. Inside, there are the foundations of a rectangular structure aligned east to west, and stony mounds that probably mark graves. But the internal ruins suggest it may have been more than a burial ground, perhaps a rath or an early ecclesiastical settlement. About 475 metres to the south-east, the Ardamore cross-slab was discovered.

This is the burial site at Log na gCapall, right here beside the road. The low cairn called Cnoc na Fola sits on a ridge overlooking Minard to the south, in a field known as Páirc na Fola, said to be the scene of a bloody battle in ancient times. The cairn was believed to mark the graves of those slain. In 1838 Windele was told that a cave containing bones had been found nearby, and that graves and bones were often turned up during ploughing. Three standing stones were said to mark the heads of large graves about 4.6 metres long. No traces of these features survive on the surface today.

Children's burial ground, Gort Na Gcuileannach

What it said · 149 of 149 words

Right here at Gort na gCúileannach in Kerry is a children's burial ground, though locals knew it as a fort. Hitchcock identified it as a rath in 1853, and the field is called Páirc an Leasa. A cross-inscribed ogham stone once served as a lintel over the doorway of a D-shaped clochaun inside the enclosure. Hitchcock removed that stone and a quernstone from the site and gave them to the Royal Irish Academy. The ogham stone is now in the National Museum. The site itself has been badly disturbed and used as a quarry for road metal, though a curving bank of earth and stone can still be traced around the western half. In 1848 Windele was told locally that the place had been used as a burial ground for children, but not within living memory. Quartz stones scattered about could have been brought in to mark those burials.

Right here beside the road in Gortacurraun is a holy well called Toberreendoney, the Well of the King of Sunday. It's a spring well set in a rock cavity on the east side of the stream that marks the boundary between Gortacurraun and Farrannacarriga. A little upstream, in a small crevice, there's a cross-inscribed stone bearing a simple Latin cross with T-bar terminals. In 1960, Ó Danachair recorded that the spring sat in the side of a deep gully, much overgrown with fuchsia, with no devotions at that time. But the Ordnance Survey name books had earlier noted that inhabitants gave rounds here, generally on Sunday morning.

Right here at the junction of Ballinclare, Farrannacarriga and Gurteen is Tobernacrusha, the holy well of the cross. The well is dry now, but a stone stands over it, about 0.88 metres high, bearing a plain Latin cross in relief on its east face. A pilgrimage, or turas, was held here on the 27th of August. By 1960, fewer pilgrims came, and the day had shifted to Saint John's Day, Midsummer. A pilgrim would recite a rosary on the way to the well, then make nine circuits of it, saying a pater and an ave during each circuit. After that, they went to a place on the edge of a cliff about 600 yards to the south west, called Bun an Turais, and said prayers there. The well itself measured 6 feet by 3 feet and was protected with flagstones. A survey in 1942 noted that the eastern stone held many small crosses carved by pilgrims, back when this was a penitential station.

Ritual site - holy well, Inch West (Corkaguiny By.)

What it said · 158 of 158 words

Right here is the site of Turrasnadíha Well, also called Tobar na Croise, the Well of the Cross, in Inch West. The well itself appears to have been filled in or diverted, but the cross-slab that stood over it is still in place. The stone stands 0.55 metres high and bears a Greek cross on its south-south-east face. The arms of the cross end in slightly bulbous depressions, and a penannular circle surrounds the outer portion of each arm, together forming a trifid motif. A pilgrimage called Turas na Duimhche was carried out here on Saint John's Day, Midsummer, until at least 1960. Ó Danachair recorded the details that year. The well appears on the 1842 map marked as Turrasnadiha Well. The local names Turas na Duimhche and Tobar na Croise come from the stone at the well with a cross carved upon it. The pilgrimage was still being carried out in 1960, though not by as many as formerly. The pilgrim recites a rosary on the way to the well. He then makes nine circuits of the well, saying a pater and ave during each circuit. After that, he goes to a place on the edge of the cliff called Bun an Turais, and says some prayers there. The pilgrimage may also have included a visit to Com an Bhráthar, part of the sea-cliff about 350 metres south of the well.

Right around here in Ballinagroun there was a holy well called Tobar na Sceach, set in a small glen where a stream flows south.

There was a legend attached to it: pilgrims on their way to the well were warned by mysterious signs and voices of danger from ambushed robbers.

Rumours of the murder of Gerald, Earl of Desmond, near Kerry

What it said · 113 of 113 words

As you pass Castlemaine Harbour, you are near the island of Kerry, where Gerald, the Earl of Desmond, met his end under uncertain circumstances. Smith wrote that he went out of his camp near the island and was privately murdered, never heard of again, though it is not known where Smith got his information. Russell, an important authority on Geraldine matters, says simply that being very old, he paid nature its inevitable debt. The Four Masters record him as a cheerful and courteous man who excelled all the English and many of the Irish in the knowledge of the Irish language, poetry, and history, and that he died after the victory of penance.

Revival prayer meeting at Castlemaine

What it said · 181 of 334 words

As you come through Castlemaine in Kerry, you are passing through a town where a religious revival took place. The mission here had fallen on hard times. The Church's funds ran low, and the mission was broken up, and with it the school-house that had been erected there 20 years before. But the blessing, it seemed, did not go with the mission. A letter came from William Lunham, a merchant of Tralee, while these pages were being written. He described what he had seen at the weekly prayer meeting at Castlemaine. He wrote that the Holy Spirit of God was in the midst of it, and that there could not have been less than 60 in attendance. The meeting continued for 2 and a half hours, and even then, the people were not willing to separate. He said God was doing wonders, and that there had been a great shaking among the dry bones in that part of God's vineyard. He found it delightful to hear many of the young country lads offering prayer and thanks for all God's mercies, in bringing them from darkness into the marvellous light of the Gospel. Lunham hoped that through this outpouring of God's Spirit, a church would be erected in the place after all. The writer noted that Lunham himself had been greatly blessed, though he did not say so in his letter.

Castle Maine

What it said · 75 of 75 words

Somewhere around here stood Castle Maine, a medieval castle built in 1215 on a bridge over the River Maine. It belonged first to the Earls of Desmond and later to the English Crown, and was a defensive structure of considerable importance in Munster. The castle was besieged on several occasions, including during the Nine Years' War, when the garrison held out for thirteen months. It was destroyed in 1652 during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland.

In another letter, Mr. Lunham laments the giving up of the mission school-house, which I had got erected there twenty years ago; and he expresses his confident hope, that by this unlooked-for outpouring of God's Spirit, a Church must, after all, be erected in the place. In this great object, which involves the resuscitation of a useful mission, perhaps some brethren in the Lord, who read these pages, and to whom God has given the means, would kindly assist. If

Castle - Anglo-Norman masonry castle, Castlemaine

What it said · 108 of 108 words

Right here at Castlemaine in Kerry stood a castle that spanned the River Maine. The Annals of Inishfallen record that a castle was built at this spot in 1215. The builder was a Fitzgerald — the Ordnance Survey of 1841 names him as Maurice, the son of Thomas Fitzgerald, while an earlier source names John and Maurice Fitzgerald. Nothing of the castle now remains. Its site was pointed out at the Bridge of Castlemaine, and Dr Smith wrote that it was built on the bridge itself, though the Ordnance Survey men found that claim fabulous. The Irish name, Caisleán na Mainge, means the Castle of the River Maine.

The heart of it is a magnificent he-goat, the puc himself, raised on a platform 20 feet high and held by a chain from each horn, his face turned down the road. He stays up there for three days, feeding on a few cabbages, presiding over the fair below. The narrator found him in the three-cornered space in the middle of the town, after walking past the green where fresh meat sold for three pence a pound, past rough shooting galleries and women selling trifles, past the chapel where a little crowd had just carried in a man killed or badly wounded by a fall from a horse. The bridge of the river and the main slope of the town were full of people who had come for amusement only, walking up and down, looking at each other, meeting cousins and friends. As the narrator puts it, a crowd is as exciting as champagne to these lonely people, who live in long glens among the mountains.

Castle - tower house, Castleconway

What it said · 167 of 167 words

Right beside the road here are the ruins of Castleconway, a tower house in Killorglin, Kerry. A castle stood at Killorglin from 1215, when Maurice Fitzgerald built one. In 1234 the Crown commanded Fitzgerald to assign a sufficiency for the maintenance of the castles of Kylorgelan to Geoffrey de Marisco, who held the castle on its behalf. After the Geraldines were defeated at the battle of Callan in 1261, the MacCarthys burned it. It was refortified, then burned and razed again by the MacCarthys in 1280. The site is reputed to have become associated with the Knights Templar, though this is unlikely. The ruins you can see now are of a later tower house, forfeited by the MacCarthys in 1583 and granted to Captain Jenkin Conway, who refortified it and built a bawn wall around it. Florence MacCarthy More burned it in 1600. William Molyneaux described it as a ruin in 1682, but it was repaired and stayed with the Conway-Blennerhassett family until 1795. It was inhabited until the 1840s. What remains is the south wall, about 14 metres long, with east and west returns and a south-west corner turret. It is built of rubble in lime pebble mortar. Two storeys survive, with a clockwise spiral stair in the turret lit by a small loop. Three red sandstone newels are still in place. Above the first floor, a garderobe chamber and its discharge chute are preserved. The stair continues to a second floor, above which nothing remains.

Right here in Commaun, Kerry, there is a holy well dedicated to St. Finian. It is small and set underground, enclosed in stonework, with crosses etched on each side and a large trimmed fir tree rising above it. The clear, fresh water holds many coins left by visitors. A niched shrine above the well is full of statues, candles and photographs. There is also a stone grotto dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, with a cross embellished with shells.

O'Sullivan's army mustered at Glenbeigh before English landing

What it said · 216 of 216 words

Up ahead, you're coming through Glenbeigh in Kerry. In 1652, O'Sullivan had his little army stationed here when word came that English ships were making sail toward the Skelligs with a fair wind. He divided his forces on the spot, leading one party himself toward the harbour of Poulnanurragh, while four companies under Captain Owen O'Sullivan of Fermoyle, an experienced officer, marched on Ballinskelligs. The English ships anchored there early that night and sent out three companies of about 160 men who surprised the inhabitants before daybreak, seized all the booty, and drove off the cattle to the harbour banks. Captain O'Sullivan arrived with his party near where the cattle were gathered and found the English resting after their raid, preparing to load the animals aboard. He split his companies into four parties, sending Captain John Brennan into a small valley east of Ballinskelligs to attack and Lieutenant McSwiney along another valley to the west, while he himself with two companies marched straight toward the enemy. The English sounded their trumpets at seeing them approach and took position behind a low ditch by the sea. O'Sullivan ordered his men to fire once within musket-shot, then rush on with pikes and broadswords. The Irish fired first, wounding only a few. The English held their fire and waited.

Children's burial ground, Curra

What it said · 105 of 105 words

Right here is a children's burial ground at Curra, sitting in a narrow strip of pasture between the Behy river and Curra Wood. It is noted as an unenclosed children's burial ground, though it was used as a formal graveyard for at least part of the 1900s. The centre is a raised area about 28 metres by 27 metres, overgrown with holly and ash, with roughly 100 uninscribed upright slabs standing about 0.3 metres high, mostly in rows running north-west to south-east. There are more recent grave markers toward the south end, and a small slab at the north end carries a plain Latin cross.

Children's burial ground, Kells

What it said · 129 of 129 words

Right here, above the rocky shore of Kells Bay, is a children's burial ground. It sits on a low cliff edge, open to the sea at the north-east, with drystone walls marking its west and south sides. The ground inside holds about two hundred uninscribed grave-markers, set in parallel rows running north-east to south-west. A small marble slab marks a recent cremation. Storms in 1989 exposed two parallel drystone walls on the seaward side, three point two metres apart, rubble-filled and well-faced. The west wall stands one point two metres high. These walls may be the old building near a grave that was noted here in the old Ordnance Survey records. There is a tradition that rounds were once performed here on Good Fridays, and that the bodies of a number of sailors were buried at this site during both World Wars.

Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb, Ballynahow More

What it said · 158 of 158 words

Here is a wedge tomb, right beside the road on the lower south-facing slope of Knocknadobar. It is quite well preserved, with a gallery open at both ends and one capstone still in place, oriented east-north-east to west-south-west. The gallery runs about 4 metres long, narrowing from 1.5 metres at the west end to under 1 metre at the east, and its sides are reinforced by low buttress-stones set just outside. Traces of a low cairn are visible, mostly on the south side. In the 1930s a separate rear chamber was noted at the east end. The capstone itself is irregular, 2.9 metres by 1.4 metres, resting on pad-stones with its ends oversailing the chamber walls, and there is a deposit of peaty material on top. Four other possible roof-stones lie nearby, one inside the gallery. These may have been displaced when the tomb was partially dismantled early in the twentieth century to free a trapped farm animal.

Monument to O'Connell at his native Cahirciveen

What it said · 79 of 79 words

As you come through Cahirciveen in Kerry, this is the native place of Daniel O'Connell, who made his first speech in 1800 and secured Catholic Emancipation in 1829. His great Repeal movement failed, and he was committed to Richmond prison. The House of Lords released him, but the confinement told on his weakened and ageing frame. The famine of '46 completed his prostration, and he died brokenhearted. A magnificent cathedral was built here at Cahirciveen to preserve his memory.

The Old Barracks

What it said · 163 of 163 words

Right here beside you in Cahersiveen is the Old Barracks, a Royal Irish Constabulary barracks built between 1870 and 1875 to a design by E.T. Owen. It is a striking building, four and five storeys, in a Scottish Baronial style with crow-stepped gables, a corner turret with a conical roof, and machicolations that give it a fortress look. The walls are coursed rubble stone with ashlar quoins, and there are two limestone plaques set into the front. It was burnt in 1922 and lay damaged for decades before being extensively reconstructed between 1991 and 1996 to serve as a heritage centre. The boundary wall around the courtyard dates from about 1875, the same time the barracks went up. For a police station it is an extraordinary piece of architecture, built to dominate the town and the approach to it. What you see now is partly the original stonework and partly the reconstruction, but the form and the detailing follow the 1870s design closely.

O'Sullivan More retreats to Iveragh, Dunkerron and Glanerought

What it said · 208 of 208 words

You are coming into the barony of Iveragh in Kerry, the country that Daniel O'Sullivan More counted on to save him in 1651. After a battle where Count Taafe's army was totally defeated in a desperate struggle, many Irish leaders submitted on moderate terms. Daniel McCarthy and Terence O'Brien were among them. But O'Sullivan More would not. He had lost a good many of his regiment, and he marched west into this country, into the baronies of Iveragh, Dunkerron and Glanerought, expecting that the bad passes and roads leading there would let him hold these districts until supplied and relieved. His hope did not last. Two colonels under his command, seeing no further prospect of success, declined that service and went to France. Then the Earl of Inchiquin, who had a tenderness and concern for O'Sullivan More, sent word urging him to submit, promising to use his best endeavours with the government to get him good conditions. O'Sullivan More returned thanks for the earl's good inclinations, but gave his answer. If he had his estates, and those of his countrymen who were with him, granted to him and to them, he would submit. But not otherwise. The negotiation was reported and not approved. Commands were issued that O'Sullivan's territory should be invaded by land and sea, and a strong party of effective men was embarked on board three or four ships to bring him speedily to submission.

Massacre at the wood of Easgah in Derreen

What it said · 115 of 115 words

Somewhere around here, in a wood called Easgah, close to Derreen, a massacre took place in 1652 or 1653. The people who died here were poor inhabitants of Ballybeg. They had withdrawn to Iveragh and Bordonine, but they left sowings behind in Ballybeg. When harvest came, they came back to cut and bring away those sowings. They brought their families with them. They set sentinels by day, and by night they went to shelter in the adjoining woods. The garrison at Nedeen discovered what they were doing. A party was sent out in boats by night, most of them from Captain Purefoy's company. They surprised the families in the wood. None were spared except a few women and children, and some of them were most inhumanly dealt with. The next day, a suckling babe was about to be thrown from a boat into the waves. When the mother grieved at that sight, her breast was cut off with a hanger. After this, provisions were so wanting that a number of active young men still attempted to carry off the sowings. They were not fully prepared, and toward night they lodged in the woods and coppices of Dunquinally and in Ballybeg. They were likewise surprised by the same party. Some young unmarried men had gone by themselves to the coppices of a small Inch, and there they were all killed. That Inch has ever since been called Inchhanoganagh, the Inch where the young men were slain.

Children's burial ground, Illaunloughan, Portmagee

What it said · 204 of 204 words

This is Illaunloughan, a children's burial ground here in Portmagee Channel. It is a small, low-lying island, and at certain low tides you can walk to it from the mainland. The habitable surface measures about 26 metres north to south and 50 metres east to west, less than a tenth of a hectare. There is no historical documentation for the island, and the origin of its name is uncertain. Lochán may be the name of a saint associated with the island. Two Lochans appear in the Martyrology of Oengus, written around AD 800. There is also an ecclesiastical site called Killoughane at the eastern end of the Iveragh peninsula. Alternatively the island name may mean the island of the chaff. Four seasons of archaeological work from 1992 to 1995 excavated about 70 per cent of the island. The remains of a monastery were found, consisting of an oratory, a leacht, a gable-shrine, a hut site and a well. About fifty upright slabs stand on the island, particularly at the west side where they tend to be in regular rows. The Ordnance Survey Name Books record Illaunloughan as a burial place for children and adult strangers, and these slabs probably relate to that use. In more recent times the island was used as a ceallúnach. The infant skeletons were well preserved, in contrast to the earlier adult burials. These later burials usually had simple uninscribed headstones, and many were placed in small boxes made from Scots Pine. Most were towards the western side of the island. The island is subject to a preservation order under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014.

Ritual site - holy well, Aghatubrid

What it said · 92 of 92 words

Right here at Aghatubrid in Kerry there was once a holy well, known locally as such, though it's not on the OS maps. It sat about 270 metres east of Kilpeacan ecclesiastical site and was filled in during the 1940s. No surface trace remains. What you can still find is a large cross-inscribed slab lying face down on a field boundary about 20 metres to the north. It's 2.18 metres long and half a metre wide, with an equal-armed cross near one end. It stood close to the well in earlier days.

Children's burial ground, Ceann Eich

What it said · 85 of 85 words

Right here at Ceann Eich in Kerry is a children's burial ground, an oval space in rough pasture overlooking the Inny river estuary. It is marked by a low earth and stone bank, and inside, the grave-markers are concentrated toward the south, many of them now fallen. At the centre stands a rectangular drystone feature built with a large quantity of quartz stones, and a loose mound of stones lies nearby to the south-east. Children were still being buried here in the early twentieth century.

Megalithic tomb - unclassified, Ceann Eich

What it said · 150 of 150 words

Right here at Ceann Eich in Kerry is an unclassified megalithic tomb, sitting on sloping pastureland that overlooks the estuary of the Inny river. A children's burial ground lies close by to the south. The monument is well preserved. It survives as a single chamber, open to the south-west and covered by one roof-stone. Traces of a cairn can be seen on the north side. One side of the chamber is a single slab, 0.65 metres high and 2.82 metres long, leaning slightly inwards. The opposite side is formed by two orthostats standing about 0.75 metres high. The irregular roof-stone, 1.53 metres long, rests on natural rock outcrop at its north-east side. A low section of drystone walling is visible at the rear. The chamber is wedge-shaped, 1 metre high and 1.15 metres wide at the south-west end, narrowing to 0.76 metres high and 0.97 metres wide at the north-east.

Children's burial ground, An Mhuiríoch (Tc An Timleach)

What it said · 90 of 90 words

Right here beside the road is a children's burial ground, known locally as a ceallúnach. It never made it onto the Ordnance Survey maps, but the name survives in the survey's field books. The ground is a low, stony platform on sloping pasture overlooking the Inny river estuary, roughly 17 metres by 19 metres, with small boulders and a few upright, uninscribed grave-markers scattered across it. Nobody living remembers it being used for burials, but two sailors are said to have been laid to rest here in the 19th century.

Castle - tower house, Lough Currane

What it said · 137 of 137 words

Right here, in the waters of Lough Currane, there is a place the locals call An Caislean, the castle. It sits on a low rise of the lake bed near the south shore, and most of the time you cannot see it at all. It only shows itself when the lake level drops low enough. What lies beneath the water is the foundation of a strong building, about 21 metres by 21 metres across, preserved below the mean water level. It was presumably built on a small island or a spit of land before the lake rose. A man named Smith noted that rise in 1756. The south-east and south-west sides survive best, standing about 1 metre in height. They are built of coursed sandstone blocks, some up to 1.5 metres long, with a rubble core. A section of the inner wall face is visible at the south-east, where the wall is about 2 metres thick. The north-east and north-west walls have collapsed and survive only as spreads of blocks and rubble. No mortar or timber is visible anywhere in the structure. About midway along the south-east side there is a regular gap, 2.85 metres wide, which may have been an entrance. It is largely blocked by collapse now, and the interior is filled with rubble up to the level of the surviving wall tops. The lake bed around the site is sandy and free of any large stones that might have come from the structure. There are other subaqueous monuments on record in this lake as well.

Children's burial ground, íochtar Cua

What it said · 129 of 129 words

Right here at Íochtar Cua is the site of a children's burial ground beside a church called Teampall na Cille, on the south-west side of the ridge where the Eightercua stone row stands. The first edition of the Ordnance Survey map showed the church at the meeting of three field boundaries, with two of them enclosing a burial ground on the church's south side. It was used for the interment of children and had become disused by the late nineteenth century. Land improvement in 1990 revealed a spread of human bone, marine shells and stone close to the south-west corner of the church, and a second thin spread of shells about 16 metres south of the church. Today there is no visible trace of the burial ground at all.

Right beside the road here at An Lóthar in Kerry, there is a children's burial ground, a site on the lower western slopes of Farraniaragh mountain, overlooking Ballinskelligs Bay. It is enclosed by a stone wall and holds an oratory, a leacht, three cross-inscribed slabs, a circular hut, and an area of burial. The enclosure is roughly circular, measuring 31 metres north to south and 26 metres east to west inside its wall. The wall stands up to 1.2 metres high on the outside and 0.9 metres on the inside, and runs from 2.3 metres to 4 metres across. A blocked entrance sits at the south-east, 1.1 metres wide, its sides formed by upright slabs. Two opposing uprights at the north-west may mark a second entrance, though that is uncertain. A hut breaks the wall circuit on the west side. In the north-east corner, a raised platform 0.9 metres high and measuring 13.5 metres by 8 metres is held in place by large upright slabs, many now leaning outwards. Two steps flanked by uprights lead up to it. On that platform stand the oratory, the leacht, and the three cross-inscribed stones.

Right here at Bailín in Kerry is a children's burial ground, a roughly rectangular plot that had already fallen out of use by the late 1800s. It sits in pasture on the north side of Beenarourke, just south of a small river that flows into Ballinskelligs Bay. Drystone walls built of large slabs bound it on the north and west, with boulders cleared from fields piled against its east and south sides. There's an entrance on the east, marked by two upright slabs. The interior rises above the surrounding ground and is scattered with loose stone, including quartz. Two grave-markers stand on the east side, each about point six metres high. There's also a stone-lined circular depression midway along the south side, filled with collapse, but nobody knows what it was for.

What it said · 112 of 112 words

Right here on the slopes of Farraniaragh mountain, looking down toward Darrynane Harbour, there's a circular enclosure of drystone walling, recorded in the old maps as a "large fort and burial place for children." The wall stands only in its lower courses now, but it's well-defined, with an entrance passage at the south-west. Inside, the remains of two huts are built against the enclosing wall, one to the north and one to the east. The burial area takes up the whole interior. Small upright slabs and quartz blocks are scattered throughout, set roughly in rows, averaging about 0.3 metres high, with two denser groupings of stones marking where the children were laid.

The wall survives best at the north-west, built with a rubble core faced inside and out with drystone masonry. Against the inner wall at the south-west are the poorly preserved foundations of a circular hut, and beside that, what looks like the lintelled opening to a blocked souterrain. In the northern half of the interior stand three shapeless mounds and two rectangular ones, sod-covered and built of large quantities of stone, upright slabs and quartz. They may cover graves.

Right beside the road here at Ballycarnahan in Kerry are the ruins of a small tower house. It was reputedly built in the early 1600s by a branch of the O'Sullivans, known as the O'Sullivans of Formoyle and Ballycarna, and it overlooks Darrynane Bay to the south-west. Two storeys survive of what was likely a three-storey rectangular structure, built of coursed rubble with lime mortar, rising about 5 metres from a battered base. The ground floor entrance had a drawbar and an iron grille, and the lobby above it featured a murder-hole. A jew's harp was found in a gap in the east wall and is now held by Kerry County Museum.

Right here at Gort na Cille in Kerry is a children's burial ground, on the south side of a ridge overlooking Kenmare Bay. The ordnance survey notebooks describe it as a small enclosure used for the burial of unbaptized infants. It's a rectangular plot, roughly 20 metres by 27 metres, walled on most sides but defined by large slabs and bare rock along the east and south. A souterrain sits at the west end, its rock-cut entrance partly blocked by a fallen lintel. Inside, the ground is packed with east-west rows of upright grave-markers, most of them low and uninscribed, though some stand taller. Long thin slabs lie flat across the surface, and quartz is scattered over the eastern half. O'Connell records a fallen standing stone here, though what he meant is not clear. There are no names or dates on these markers, so the infants buried here remain unknown.

Ritual site - holy well, Behaghane

What it said · 157 of 199 words

Right beside the road here at Behaghane is Toberavilla, a spring well covered by a low drystone structure with a cross-incised slab on top, standing near Kilcrohane medieval church and graveyard. An ash tree once stood beside the well, locally reputed to mark the grave of St Crohane, and the well and this sacred tree together formed the principal assembly point for a three-day pattern held in his honour, beginning on July 29th, Oíche Chrócháin. The pattern included a pilgrimage from Kilcrohane up to Windy Gap near the summit of Eagles Hill, with rounds made at Tobercrohane well along the way, and was thought by MacNeill to have originated as a Lughnasa pilgrimage-assembly. A flat-topped boulder east of the well, called locally a massrock, has a recumbent slate slab beside it bearing lightly incised crosses, and folklore collected from schoolchildren says a rock near the well bears the impression of St Crohane's back where he once stretched. The pattern has been in decline since the mid-1800s and rarely visited since the 1940s, but one old tradition records that a blind man was cured there very long ago, though in later years people came more for pleasure than for cures.

Castle - tower house, Behaghane

What it said · 121 of 121 words

Right here is a tower house known as Castle Cove, or Caisleán Bhun Inbhir, or Bunaneer Castle. It sits on a low rise of rock on the north shore of Kenmare Bay, with views south across to the Beara Peninsula. Tradition gives the building of it to both the O'Sullivan Mores and the Brennans. A skirmish between O'Sullivan More's forces and a party of Cromwellians is recorded as having taken place in a nearby field called Droumfaddy in 1641. The tower house is a rectangle, 11.8 metres north to south and 9.9 metres east to west, built of split stone rubble laid in mortar with beach pebble and marine shell mixed in. The quoins are sandstone, most other dressings limestone. Two floors stand now, but there was once a third. The south wall and the south-west angle are largely destroyed. The entrance is at ground level, midway along the west wall, and the doorway is completely defaced. It may have been fitted for a grille, secured by a chain from a mural chamber. The entrance lobby has a murder-hole served from a chamber above. A mural stair runs from the lobby to the upper floors, lit by narrow loops. The first floor chamber has a fireplace with a flat arch of pitched slabs, and two mural chambers at west, one of them containing the murder-hole. The stair continues past the first floor, and corbels and a garderobe near the north-east angle show a second floor once stood above.

Ritual site - holy well, Derryquin

What it said · 206 of 206 words

Right beside the road here in Derryquin, in Kerry, there is a possible holy well dedicated to St. Anne, in woodland near the eastern shore of Askive Lough. The lake is known locally as Hollywood Lake, and the well itself was known as St. Anne's well or Hollywood well. It is marked on the 1892 Ordnance Survey map, though it is now closed in. A pattern was formerly held here on July 8th, beginning the evening before. The rounds consisted of making three circuits of the lake while reciting prayers. These rounds began and ended at a holly tree whose shape resembled a woman. Pilgrims stuck pins and coins into the trunk of the tree and tied rags to its branches. They also brought home some of the lake water. The pattern day was known as 'the morning of the lake'. Graves noted that pilgrims travelled long distances to avail of the lake waters' 'miraculous power', which was particularly efficacious in curing 'sores'. There is some disagreement about where the pattern took place. One of Ó Cíobháin's informants said it was at the well, not the lake. Local tradition places St. Anne in penal times and associates her with a nearby mass-rock called Com an Aifrinn. There are numerous versions of the tale of her encounter with Redcoats hunting a local priest, and of her subsequent drowning at their hands. Lyne suggests that the lake's association with St. Anne may evidence a pre-Christian veneration of the goddess Áine, and the Hollywood pattern may have originally been a Lughnasa festival.

Rows of upright grave-markers still stand through the site, now largely hidden under dense vegetation and recently planted trees. A souterrain opening sits just outside, leading into an earth-tunnelled passage about 1.2 metres wide and 0.7 metres high, running north-east beneath the slope.

Locals attribute curative powers to its waters. Records say people made rounds here on Saturdays, and the Schools' Collection noted it was visited on Good Friday.

Castle - tower house, Dromore (Dunkerron South By.)

What it said · 97 of 97 words

Right here beside the road are the remains of a tower house called Cappanacush Castle. It stands on a rocky outcrop on a low ridge, close to the north shore of Kenmare Bay, west of Kenmare town. This castle belonged to a branch of the O'Sullivans known as the Sliocht Mac Crath, and a manuscript in the Royal Irish Academy records that it was built by Cor, grandson of Macarius O'Sullivan More. Cor has been identified as Conchur O'Sullivan, who lived before about 1450. Little survives now but the south wall, standing almost to full height, with parts of the east and west returns. It is built of limestone, roughly coursed split stone laid in mortar with marine shell inclusions. The wall runs 10.5 metres in length and 1.85 metres in thickness, with a base batter rising to 2.3 metres. The internal features show the castle was five storeys high, with vaults over the first and third floors. On the ground floor a small rectangular loop survives in a broad embrasure. At first floor level there are sockets for timber beams and a narrow loop lit the second storey. Midway along the south wall at third floor level is a well-preserved pointed loop of dressed chamfered stone, with a large fireplace to the east of it and a wall-cupboard to the west. The uppermost floor was carried on scarcements, and near the south-west angle the remains of a single merlon and the alure survive, drained by projecting dripstones.

Children's burial ground, Greenane Islands

What it said · 59 of 59 words

Right here at the Greenane Islands near Templenoe is Illaunakilla, where an old burial ground was recorded as not used these three hundred years. A second island, Carraig a tSagairt, lies to the north-east, where priests used to celebrate mass in the 15th and 16th centuries. The island could not be visited and the site is not remembered locally.

Castle - tower house, Dunkerron

What it said · 197 of 197 words

Right here, on this limestone rise overlooking Kenmare Bay, stands Dunkerron Castle, the principal residence of the O'Sullivan Mores. In 1580 Owen O'Sullivan was inaugurated as O'Sullivan More, and he and his second wife, Sily MacCarthy Riabhach, are said to have built the manor house adjoining the castle. Eight years later he was described as 'lord of a great country, the Earl's seneschal and marshal.' In 1632, during the occupancy of Donal O'Sullivan More, the castle was called 'a strong and defensible building.' It stayed in O'Sullivan More hands until 1656, when it was confiscated. Sir William Petty then acquired it, and the O'Sullivan More's attempts to petition for the return of his lands came to nothing. What survives is a large, ivy-clad tower house, rectangular in plan, measuring 12 metres by 10.8 metres. The north wall stands to its full height of 18.3 metres, carrying stepped battlements. The south, east and west walls do not survive above the upper levels of the ground floor. The building is four storeys, with a vault over the first floor that has now collapsed. The walls average 2.6 metres in basal thickness and are built of roughly coursed limestone blocks, slabs and rubble in a lime, gravel and stone-chip mortar. A small bawn on the south side survives only in scant traces. A turret at the west end of the south side measures 4.6 metres by 3.8 metres and contains what was probably an oubliette dungeon, about 5 metres deep, lit by narrow loops set high in its walls.

Children's burial ground, Kenmare

What it said · 86 of 86 words

There is a children's burial ground right here, on a north-west-facing slope overlooking the Finnihy River estuary. Rough pasture surrounds it. The ground measures about 50 metres north-west to south-east and about 40 metres south-west to north-east. A drystone wall encloses the south-west side, with traces of a curving earthen bank from south-west to north-east. The rest is defined by uneven ground and overgrowth. Graves are marked by low, uninscribed headstones, usually with footstones. Several low, unmarked mounds were also noted. In the north-west half, the ground slopes steeply down to the riverbank, where coniferous trees shade the graves. The rest is uneven and densely overgrown with bushes and ferns. The 1846 OS map names it Killeen Burial Ground, showing a rectangular area enclosed by a field boundary on the south-west side and a broken line on the other three sides, with the north-west side curving slightly.

Fever hospital, Dromneavane

What it said · 100 of 100 words

Right here, in this sloping pasture overlooking Kenmare, stands a former fever hospital, now a private dwelling. It is a two-storey rubble-stone building with cut-stone quoins, five bays across the front, a slate roof, and four chimneys. It opened on 20th March 1847, in the depths of the Famine, when fever hospitals were being set up across the country to deal with the crisis. The 1846 and 1895 maps show it as a T-shaped building with two smaller structures behind. A single-storey extension was added to the rear at some point, and sash window frames survive on the first floor.

Ritual site - holy well, Gortamullin

What it said · 86 of 86 words

Here at Gortamullin in Kerry, right beside the road, is a holy well dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, known as Tobar Muire. It's a slab-lined spring well with an encased statue of Mary above it, and a slab with a deeply cut cross set in concrete nearby. People used to come here on Saturdays, described as persons afflicted with any sickness. A pattern is held on August 15th, the feast of Our Lady, and a major fair takes place in Kenmare town the same day.

Old man recalls burying Famine corpses near Kenmare

What it said · 105 of 117 words

Somewhere around here, an old man called Darby lived through the Famine years. He told how he saw the dead buried in ditches by the road, day after day. After that he left for England, because, as he said, 'this country was ruined and destroyed.' He heard there was work in Plymouth, so he went to Dublin and took a boat to England. They put him ashore at Liverpool, and he had to walk all the way to Plymouth, asking his way on the road. There he saw soldiers coming back from the Crimea, broken and maimed. Later, when Darby stepped out for a moment, the people said he beats up and was troublesome when he drank.
