Old man recalls burying Famine corpses near Kenmare

What it said · 117 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.

Kenmare Garda Síochána Station

What it said · 62 of 62 words

Right here is Kenmare Garda Station. It was built about 1835 as a Royal Irish Constabulary barracks, a detached two-storey building on a symmetrical plan with an entrance breakfront at the centre. The walls are coursed limestone ashlar at the front, rubble stone at the sides and rear, with slate roofs and limestone surrounds to the windows. It was extended about 1900 with an extra bay to the east, and a gateway with limestone piers and cast-iron gates was added about 1895, shared with the hotel next door. It underwent renovation in 1998.

Right beside the road here is a children's burial ground in Garranes, set inside what may be a rath. It is a rectangular plot, 14 metres north to south and 9 metres east to west, already named Burial Ground on the 1846 map. Stone wall footings mark the south and west sides, a low bank runs along the north, and a stone-faced scarp drops to the east, where a tree-lined terrace stands outside. The interior slopes down that way, and the graves are marked with plain uninscribed stone slabs, laid north to south. Dennehy recorded the place as a ceallúnach, a children's burial ground, in 1997, and noted veins of quartz running through the sandstone markers.

It has five bays across the front, with gabled end-bays to north and south, and now it is a private house. The roofs are artificial slate, hipped and pitched, with rendered chimneystacks. The walls are painted roughcast render, with a smooth rendered platband and a red brick string course.

It stands prominent in the streetscape, and it retains many original features and materials. The inventory notes the variety of window openings and the classical style broken pediments as interesting features of a carefully considered design.

A slab lying nearby, largely buried in peat, may be a displaced roofstone. There's also a rectangular platform at the edge of the slope, used for storing cut peat, and it's likely the tomb itself was used as a quarry for that structure.

Malcomson's Mill at Little Island Described by Shiel (1828)

What it said · 123 of 153 words

Somewhere close to Little Island, in 1828, Richard Lalor Shiel visited this stretch and wrote that Malcomson's mill was, he believed, the finest in Ireland. He likened the mills here to cotton factories in Lancashire. He said he felt dizzy at the play of the machinery. Half the harvest of the adjoining counties, as well as of Tipperary, he wrote, was powdered under the huge millstones that he saw wheeling with incalculable rapidity. David Malcomson himself showed him round, with some touch of the pride of wealth, this great concern. They ascended flight after flight of stairs to a vast height. On reaching one of the loftiest stages of the building, Shiel saw a young man shovelling flour into a large tube and covered with its particles. "That is my son," said David. "He will teach others by first…" The broader picture: in the earlier years of the century the great bulk of grain was exported in its unmanufactured state. By degrees the advantages of cheap labour and abundant water power were availed of. About 1840, between 60 and 70 mills were in operation throughout the county. Some Clonmel prices: in 1826, flour 37s. a bag, wheat 15s. 6d. a stone. In 1832, flour 35s. a bag, wheat 14d. a stone. In 1843, flour 31s. a bag, wheat 15d. a stone.

Dunboy Castle

What it said · 82 of 82 words

Dunboy Castle is right here. A house was first built on this site in 1739 by Henry and John Puxley, set beside the ruins of an earlier tower house that had stood to the west since about 1590 and was destroyed in 1602. That first house was a freestanding irregular-plan building over a basement, two and three storeys high, with six bays. In the 1860s it was extensively rebuilt and remodelled for Henry Lavallin-Puxley, a descendant of the original builders, by the architect John Christopher. The entrance front gained a three-storey advanced central tower with a dormer, flanked by recessed bays, a three-storey canted bay to the south, and a projecting chimneystack flanked by lancet openings to the north. A five-stage tower rose to the side and rear of the main block, with advanced gable-fronted single-bay three-storey towers to the sides and a five-bay two-storey block with dormers to the rear. The walls were ashlar granite with a plinth, plat bands, and an eaves course, marble arches and decorations. The tower house walls were rendered, its openings bearing label mouldings. The main block had paired pointed arch openings with marble columns on the first floor. The building was burnt in 1921, during the Troubles, but kept much of its architectural character and its finely executed stonework. It was rebuilt in 2008 and is now in use as a hotel. Set outside Castletownbere, this was the most powerful house on the peninsula throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Siege of Dunboy

What it said · 72 of 72 words

Somewhere around here stood Dunboy Castle, where a siege was fought in June 1602, one of the last battles of the Nine Years' War. An English army of up to 5,000 under Sir George Carew besieged the castle, held by 143 men loyal to Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare. The English took the castle after eleven days and hanged the majority of those captured. They also captured a fort on nearby Dursey Island.

Right here in Curradonohoe, near the graveyard around the ruins of Kilaconenagh church, is a group of possibly four holy wells on the southern edge of a ridge of exposed bedrock, now heavily overgrown. They are three large circular hollows, probably natural in origin, with a possible fourth about 1 metre higher up the bedrock. There is no evidence they are still visited regularly, but they are known locally as the Holy Wells.

You're coming into the bay of Bearhaven. This is O'Sullivan Bear country. The record names him here among the Desmonds, the Mac Carthys, and the wars that tore Munster in the Desmond era. What it notes, plainly, is that O'Sullivan Bear hanged an English captain. No details survive of the captain or the day. The act sits in a list of troubles: the Spaniards at Kinsale, letters to the English court signed by the Bishops of Cork and Cloyne, requests that Anglo-Norman and Irish lords be bound over on pain of life and goods not to prey on each other. Campion described the Cork people as living almost in a state of siege. The Irish were called a pack of wolves. The Earl of Desmond asked permission for his son to be brought up an Irishman, and his words were for the better preserving of peace. Dissensions were so rife that the English government's policy is called contemptible and foolish. Smith's anti-Irish proclivities are noted. The Monastery of Kilcrea was founded by Mac Carthy Laider, and Blarney Castle was erected. Mac Carthy Mors were lords of Desmond, Mac Carthy Reaghs lords of Carbery, Mac Carthy Donoughs lords of Duhallow, and the Mac Carthys of Muskerry. The Wars of the Roses had their consequence in Ireland. It is in this tide of raids and factions that O'Sullivan Bear's hanging of an English captain is recorded. The bay holds the place, but the record gives only the act and the name.

Protestant desertion and conversion to Catholicism near Adrigole

What it said · 60 of 60 words

Somewhere around here, many Protestants reportedly joined the Catholic Church over the half century before 1839. The author heard that even the parish clerk stripped and sold the church's own pew timber. He blamed the decline on the neglect of careless parsons and the disinterest of landlords, calling it "so unlucky a confession" that he hoped it never took place.

Adrigole Garda Síochána Station

What it said · 142 of 142 words

Detached L-plan four-bay two-storey Garda station, built about 1930, having projecting bay to west. Hipped slate roofs having rendered chimneystacks with cast-iron and uPVC rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls with platband and rendered plinth. Square-headed openings with six-over-six timber sliding sash windows, concrete sills and raised limestone surrounds (ground floor). Square-headed opening with tripartite four-over-four timber sliding sash windows and concrete sill. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door, limestone step and raised limestone surround supporting entablature. Outbuildings to rear (north-west). Rendered walls with piers and wrought-iron gates to front. Following the establishment of the Irish Free State, the government undertook a public building campaign, and many school and Garda stations were built throughout from the 1930s to 50s. This purpose-built Garda Station is typical of the high quality design and materials which characterised the buildings of the Board of Works at the time. Essentially classical in inspiration, the portions and limestone dressings create an imposing building, yet one which sits comfortably in its setting.

Martello Tower

What it said · 69 of 69 words

Garinish Island, Cork Harbour, is a small island on which Martello Tower Number 7 stands. This circular-plan, three-bay, two-stage tower was built in 1805. It now sits disused. It has a flat flagstone casemated roof with parapet, stone coping, and a central gun pivot. The walls are rubble stone. It has camber-headed openings with stone sills and voussoirs. A camber-headed door opening on the south side leads to the first stage, with a recent steel flight of steps. Enclosing rubble stone walls stand to the south, with flagstone coping and a carved date plaque. The tower is part of a larger complex of fortifications that commanded the West Cork coastline. It was one of many Martello towers built throughout Ireland during the Napoleonic wars of the early nineteenth century. Its design is based on a tower on Martello Point in Corsica. Unlike other Irish Martello towers, its walls are straight, not battered.

Glengarriff House Hotel

What it said · 91 of 91 words

Right beside the road here are the ruins of Glengarriff House Hotel. It was built by Colonel Simon White, brother of the first Earl of Bantry, at the end of the eighteenth century. The main block is a detached nine-bay two-storey house with a pair of full-height bows, built about 1800. A rectangular-plan castellated tower with a bartizan stands to the south-west, and a circular tower rises at the north-east corner. A two-storey wing attaches to a five-stage circular tower, set at an angle to the main block, and ends in a three-stage tower with a battered base, joined to an ogee-headed carriage arch with a flanking tower. The walls are rubble limestone, with remains of lined-and-ruled, roughcast and smooth render. Later it became a hotel. Its guests included Yeats, Thackeray, and Synge. It is now in poor condition, but it keeps much of its original character and shows considerable architectural diversity.

Megalithic tomb - unclassified, Ardaturrish More

What it said · 102 of 102 words

Right here in Ardaturrish More, on a flat-topped knoll overlooking Glengarriff Harbour, there's a megalithic tomb the locals call the altar. What remains is a single chamber: two parallel upright stones holding up a rounded boulder, shaped like an inverted triangle with its apex pointing down into the space beneath. The roofstone is about 1.6 metres by 1.8 metres, and the gap below it is just 0.6 metres high. It's an odd hybrid — the capstone resembles those used for boulder-burials, but the supporting stones are more typical of a megalithic tomb. There's another megalithic structure just 2 metres to the north.

Reendisert Court

What it said · 96 of 96 words

Right beside the road here at Ballylicky are the ruins of Reendisert Court, a fortified house built about 1620 by Owen O'Sullivan Beara. It was a detached T-plan building, five bays across, two storeys with attic and over basement, with defensive machicolations and tall chimneystacks that still give it a dominating presence in the landscape. It was nearly destroyed during the Parliamentarian War of Cromwell in the 1650s, but it remained inhabited until the late twentieth century. The east section was later converted to use as a country house, while the west section became farm buildings.

The desperate defence at Bantry/Glengarriff

What it said · 146 of 179 words

Coming through Bantry in Cork, you are passing ground where O'Sullivan fought in 1602, amid his own rocks, bogs and woods, in the face of his wife, children and people. The battle was for the defence of the cattle, their only subsistence, their all. Through the whole Munster war, never was a field so desperately contested. From rock to rock and ridge to ridge the Irish suffered the assault of the English, until the well-armed and fearless assailants carried one position after another, and the O'Sullivans gave way and scattered over the hills, like sheep, leaving their all a prey to the spoiler. Then Tyrrel, finding the left of his position on Slievelker turned by Wilmot, perceived the game was up in Munster. Hopeless of further Spanish aid, he retreated through Kerry, Limerick, Ormond and Ely O'Carroll until he reached his own country with all his partisans. O'Sullivan still clung with craving hope to his native rocks. But winter coming on, famine stared him in the face, for Wilmot had wasted all Bear, Bantry and the whole of Kerry. Not a cow, garran, goat or sheep did he leave.

O'Sullivan Beare's house burned at Bantry with people inside

What it said · 88 of 88 words

Coming through Bantry now, in Cork. In 1641 the English party burned O'Sullivan Beare's house here, and burned the surrounding county besides. They killed men, women and children, and turned many people back into their own burning houses to perish there. Among the dead were Thomas de Bucke, a cooper about 80 years old, and his wife, who was almost as aged. The same garrison then burned and pillaged all that county and murdered above 3,000 persons, men, women and children, before any rebellion had begun in Munster.

Students trick a jarvey out of a gratuitous jaunt from Harcourt Street to Summer Hill

What it said · 216 of 216 words

Along here on Summer Hill, two students once pulled off a neat trick on a jarvey. They had been invited to an evening party at Summer Hill but had no wish to walk and no money for a carriage. So one of them got a car at a stand in Harcourt Street, sat in with his comrade, and told the driver to go to Santry. The jarvey was horrified and refused, saying the beast was tired and he would not go. The student would not budge, and threatened to prosecute for assault if the man laid a finger on him. The carman softened, pleading there was nothing but murder and robbery on that road. The student answered that they would stop at a house on Summer Hill to collect firearms, and with two cases of pistols feared no robbers. So the jarvey drove on. At Summer Hill they told him to pull up, stepped inside the hall door saying they would fetch the arms, and the jarvey whipped his horse and rattled off as fast as he could, congratulating himself on escaping a drive to Santry. He left the two scamps behind, never paid, enjoying the joke of a gratuitous jaunt from Harcourt Street to Summer Hill. The whole scheme came out in a police-court cross-examination.

The floating islands beneath the angel's footmark

What it said · 114 of 114 words

As the road nears Mount Gabriel in Cork, you're coming into a hill with a strange tale attached to it. The story goes that an angel, wishing to see the land Saint Patrick had promised to bestow forever on the Virgin, came down and perched on the western peak of the mountain. The mark of his standing is there to this day. His toes are branded on the rock as plain as if you clasped your four fingers and thumb upon a sod of drying turf. Just under that blessed mark lies a jewel of a lake, round as a turner's bowl and alive with trout. There are islands on it that float up and down, east and north and south, drifting across the water. But every Lady-day they come floating to the western point, and there they lie fixed under the crag that holds the track of the angel's foot. It was told to the traveller as he rowed past two long islands that sheltered the entrance of the bay of Skull, until he was abroad on what appeared to him like the great Western Ocean, a noble expanse stretching coastward east and west. cites: [105944]

Coming up near Mount Gabriel in Cork, a hill whose name comes down through a story told by a boatman called Pat Hayes.

On his return flight he looked down upon Ireland, and paused on the western peak of this hill, leaving the mark of his footprint on the rock.

Belief in miraculous cures from the priest's grave clay at Skull

What it said · 56 of 56 words

As you pass through Skull in Cork, locals once believed a priest buried here worked miracles. He was known for curing ague, rheumatism, sore eyes, and falling sickness. Yet people questioned whether he was truly an austere man, asking if he denied himself daily and carried his cross, comparing him to Saint Jerome or Saint Anthony.

Ritual site - holy well, Cooradarrigan

What it said · 64 of 64 words

Right here at Cooradarrigan in Cork is a holy well, now dry, marked by a scatter of stones in a small pasture field overgrown with briars and ferns. O'Donoghue noted a holy well under the neighbouring townland of Meenvane in 1986, but local enquiries found no trace there, so this is probably the one. A cupmarked stone holding coins lies just to the south.

The Protestant church at Skull

What it said · 87 of 87 words

Coming up through Skull in Cork, you pass a Protestant church that stands on high ground over the sea. A traveller once walked there with a friend who called it a plain building, yet fitted for as ample a congregation as any in Ireland. Few parishes, even in Protestant Ulster, could boast of a better filled house of worship. The church itself is unadorned but neat, with a modest belfry and white-washed walls that send their bright shadows over the water on a calm sunny Sabbath morning.

Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb, Altar

What it said · 175 of 210 words

Right beside the road here at Altar in Cork, there is a wedge tomb on a raised platform above the rocky shore of Toormore Bay. It was excavated in 1989 by Dr. William O'Brien. The chamber is slab-built, aligned east-north-east to west-south-west, formed by two rows of three orthostats each. One roofstone still sits above the east end, and a second rests against the west end. No clear evidence of a cairn was found, likely due to intensive post-medieval cultivation and early 19th-century road construction. Excavation did uncover the socket for a backstone and a low stone kerb at the entrance. That kerb contained three fragments of cetacean bone deliberately deposited there. It overlay two pits on either side of the entrance, filled with shattered slaty stone, possibly tooling debris from shaping the orthostats and capstones. Two cobble-hammers used in that work were also recovered. At the east end of the chamber, a pit held votive deposits of limpet and periwinkle shells and fish bones. A small spread of cremated human bone was found inside the entrance. Outside the chamber, finds included struck pebble flint, among them two end-scrapers and a broken hollow scraper, from cultivation-disturbed ground. Only a single fragment of struck flint came from the chamber itself. It is a National Monument in State care, number 645.

Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb, Toormore (Carbery West (W.D) By.)

What it said · 185 of 185 words

Right here beside the road is a wedge tomb at Toormore, in west Cork. It was excavated over five weeks in June and July 1990, and the stone chamber was restored in September of that year. The chamber was made of two rows of upright slabs, running roughly north-east to south-west. The northern row had three sidestones placed side by side. The southern row had two certain sidestones with a gap of 0.85 metres between them, and a third upright slab probably stood in that gap. These slabs were set into foundation trenches and formed a gallery measuring 4.25 metres in length. The chamber gets lower as it goes east, from 1.26 metres at the west entrance down to 0.90 metres at the far end. It is also wedge-shaped in plan, 1.88 metres wide at the south-west and narrowing to 1.20 metres at the north-east, where a backstone slab closed it off. The chamber was likely roofed with two overlapping roofstones, but only one survived. No evidence of a cairn or mound covering was found. A bronze axe from the Early Bronze Age and two pieces of raw copper were found together on the north side of the tomb entrance. No other prehistoric artefacts were recovered, and no evidence of burials. Radio-carbon dating places the construction of the monument in the later stages of the Early Bronze Age, around 1700 to 1500 BC. There was intermittent activity at the site in later prehistoric and historic periods. A plan of the monument had been surveyed in 1989, before the excavation began.

Ruined chapel and sacred well tradition at Kilmoe

What it said · 115 of 115 words

As the road carries you through the parish of Kilmoe in Cork, there are ruins of a chapel at the west end of the town, dedicated to St. Mullagh. The parish church is dedicated to St. Briana, also called Brandon, whose festival is observed in this parish. At the close of the 17th century, the parish held about 9 Protestant families and 200 Papists. The Popish priest of this parish, and of the western part of the neighbouring parish of Skull, was Teige Coghlen. He had been here about 8 years. A young Irishman, a Papist, taught school about the middle of the parish. In all of O'Sullivan's country, the people observed St. Rooane's Day as a holiday. The neighbouring parish of Skull, whose western part shared the same priest, held about 4 Protestant families and about 400 Papist families. Daniel Carthy was Popish priest of the eastern part of Skull, and had been there ever since before the late troubles. There was no glebe in Skull, no registry book, nor Bible, nor common prayer book. The proprietor had obliged all the tenants not to admit Papists. At Kinneigh, a high round tower stood on the southwest corner of the churchyard. The church there was supposed to have formerly been a cathedral. A stone on the southwest corner of the church was counted very sacred, and the Irish solemnly swore upon it. The church was accounted by the Irish very sacred. There was a tradition that in this churchyard there had been a well with great medicinal virtues, but the concourse of people being very chargeable to the inhabitants, they stopped it up.

signal tower, Rock Island

What it said · 109 of 109 words

Right here on Rock Island in Cork are the ruins of a signal tower, a square-plan three-stage structure built about 1800 with rubble stone walls, string courses and a crenulated parapet. It was one of a network of watch towers put up around the coast of Ireland after the French attempted an invasion at Bantry in 1796, meant to ensure a quick response to any future attack. The entrance is on the north side, with a rubble stone staircase to the east. Though largely ruined now, it still holds its prominent position and keeps the same square-plan first-floor-entrance form you can see in other signal towers across West Cork.

Right here on Rock Island in Cork are the ruins of a signal tower, built about 1800. It was part of a network of watch towers raised around the coast of Ireland to ensure a quick response to invasion, after the French attempted a landing at Bantry in 1796. The tower is square in plan, three stages high, built of rubble stone with rough-cast rendered walls. The door was on the first floor of the north side. Square-headed blind openings mark the north, west and south walls, and some openings have label mouldings. Though largely in ruins now, its form matches other signal towers in West Cork. It holds a prominent position and stands as a physical reminder of Ireland's military history.

Tim Jarvis and the Fairy Gold of Ballydehob

What it said · 130 of 130 words

Somewhere around here, Tim Jarvis dreamed again and again of a crock of gold buried beneath a furze bush in the Fort field. The next night his hopes got the better of his fears, so he armed himself with a bottle of potheen and went to the field. He jumped into the pit, took a little sup to keep his heart up, then a big one, and with a desperate wrench he wrenched up the stone. Up rushed a blast of wind, wild and fierce, and down fell Tim, down and down, until he thumped upon what seemed like a floor of sharp pins, which made him bellow out. Then he heard a whisk and a hurra, and voices beyond number cried out, "Welcome, Tim Jarvis, dear! Welcome, down here!"

The Watch-House Sepulchre in Skibbereen Graveyard

What it said · 139 of 205 words

Coming up along Skibbereen, in Cork. In 1847 a visitor walked with the Reverend Mr. F---- through the town's filthy lanes and into the graveyard. At its centre stood a small watch-house, seven feet long and six feet broad. It had served as a grave where the dying could bury themselves. An embankment of graves already rose halfway to the eaves around it. The entrance would scarcely admit a common-sized person. Living men, women, and children went down into that noisome sepulchre to die. They pillowed themselves upon rotten straw, upon the grave-clothes of previous victims, festering with their fever. They lay as closely to each other as if crowded side by side on the bottom of one grave. Six persons had been found in there at one time. Only one was able to crawl to the door and ask for water. The visitor's party removed a board from the entrance and found it crammed with wan victims of famine, ready and willing to perish.

The moment they opened the door, a crowd of haggard creatures pressed upon them with agonizing prayers for bread and followed them to the soup-house. One woman whose entreaties became irresistibly importunate had watched all night in the graveyard, lest the body of her husband should be stolen from his resting place, to which he had been consigned yesterday. She had left five children sick with the famine fever in her hovel, and she raised an exceedingly bitter cry for help. A man with swollen feet pressed closely upon them and begged for bread most piteously. He had pawned his shoes for food, which he had already consumed. The soup-house was surrounded by a cloud of these famine spectres, half naked, standing or sitting in the mud beneath a cold, drizzling rain. The narrow defile to the dispensary bar was choked with young and old of both sexes, struggling forward with rusty tin and iron vessels for soup, some of them upon all fours, like famished beasts. Among the crowd at the bread dispensary, one man stood out. He lived several miles from the town and had fastened his youngest child to his back and brought four more by his side, staggered to the door. His hair upon his face was nearly as long as that upon his head. His cheeks were fallen in, his jaws so distended he could scarcely articulate a word.

The Dropsical Boy and Infant in a Skibbereen Cabin

What it said · 169 of 169 words

Coming through Skibbereen in 1847, you are passing through a town where some of the worst cabins in Ireland stood. In one of them, a visitor recorded what he saw, and it stayed with him through the night like a ghost. Dropsy was common among the famine sufferers. He had seen men working on the public roads with limbs swollen to twice their size. But nothing prepared him for what the woman of this cabin lifted from the straw. She pulled a boy of about twelve from behind a dying man and stood him on his feet. His cold, watery face was the only living part of him that seemed familiar. From his neck down he was naked in front. His body had swollen to nearly three times its usual size, bursting the ragged garment that covered him, so that it dangled in shreds behind him. Then the woman from the other family in the hovel brought forward her own infant, a thin-faced baby of two years. Its arms were no larger than pipe stems, cold and naked. Its body was swollen to the size of a full-grown person. Its eyes were clear and sharp and did not wink, but stared stock still at vacancy, as if a glimpse of another existence had eclipsed its vision. The visitor asked the reader to group these apparitions of death and disease into a space of ten feet square, and then multiply that across three-fourths of the hovels in this region of Ireland. That, he said, would give a fair estimate of the extent and degree of the misery. He wished that well-dressed children in America could have entered these hovels and seen the young creatures wasting away unmurmuringly by slow consuming destitution. He was sure they would have been touched to the liveliest compassion and ready to divide their wardrobe with the sufferers.

Second Lane of Hovels Visited with Dr. D----

What it said · 68 of 68 words

As you pass through Skibbereen, this is the second lane of hovels that Burritt visited with Dr. D---- on Sunday, February 21, 1847, on the opposite side of the village from the one he had seen the day before. He called it a mud city of the dead and dying, where the people and their clayey habitations seemed to be melting down together into the earth. A cold drizzling rain was deepening pools of black filth. When Dr. D---- appeared at the head of the lane, it filled with haggard, famine-stricken men, women, and children, some far gone in the fever, all imploring him, for the honour of God, to come and see a dying mother, father, or boy. Others raised their voices for bread. In every hovel they entered, they found the dying or the dead. In one straw-roofed burrow, eight persons had died in the last fortnight, and five more lay on the same fetid straw upon which their predecessors had been consumed by the fever. There was no food, no fuel, no bed, only filthy straw in a corner. There was no window, only the door, so they would stand in darkness until a wisp of burning straw revealed wan-faced children grouped together, their large still eyes looking out. In one cabin an old woman lay on straw, her head near a small iron vessel steaming with slimy sea-weed. That was all her daughter could serve her. The last cabin held two families, both thinned to half their number. A dead woman lay on one side of the fireplace. On the other, an old man lay on straw, unable to speak. He might have been ninety or fifty. This wasting consumption of want brings out the extremest indices of old age in the features of even the young.

Priests hunted as outlaws under the penal laws in Cork county

What it said · 167 of 167 words

As you come through Skibbereen, you are in country that the penal laws touched closely. The County Cork Grand Jury Presentments at the close of the 17th century tell part of the story. In 1687 they set down that Protestant clergy, under colour of law, exacted from the Roman Catholick subjects sums of christening, purification, burying, and book money, sued them in spiritual courts, and committed them to prison, dispeopling the country. In 1694 they complained of Popish clergy that come from beyond the sea, and prayed for the suppression of Popish schools. In 1696 they stated that John Mulcoroy, a Popish priest, and others, are out on their keeping, and cannot be taken by warrant. They prayed they may be ordered to surrender themselves by a certain day, or that they may be proclaimed rebels and traitors to the government. The following year they complained that Cornelius Crowley, alias Maddery, of Skibbereen, and Owen Mac Owen Sullivan, of Kilcaskin parish, and others, all Irish Papists, have taught school and continue. So the record stands: priests and schoolmasters named, hunted, demanded to give themselves up or be called rebels.

Right here is a tower house of the O'Driscoll clan, standing on the east shore of the Ilen river estuary. It rises four storeys now, though it was originally at least a floor higher, with a bawn enclosure on its north and west sides. The Crown forces took this castle after the Battle of Kinsale. Inside, a spiral stair in the northwest corner climbs past a wicker-centred vault to the upper floors, and there are small fireplaces in the south wall on the second and third levels. Traces remain of centering supports for a second vault above the third floor, but that vault has entirely fallen.

Megalithic tomb - passage tomb, The Lag (Ringarogy Island)

What it said · 112 of 112 words

Here on the east side of Ringarogy Island, a small rocky eminence in the estuary of the Illen River, lies a passage tomb at a place locally known as the Lag. Almost the entire tomb is inundated at high tide. It is covered in sea-weed, and only the tops of two orthostats are visible above the high-water mark. What remains is a gallery, aligned east-north-east to west-south-west. It is formed by three sidestones to the north and three to the south. The gallery opens to the east, where a transversely set, jamb-like stone stands at the east end of the north side, with a further smaller orthostat to the east indicating some form of elaboration at the entrance area. The west end of the gallery is closed by a substantial backstone. Four prostrate slabs lie to the east of the entrance area, and two others to the south, probably representing displaced roofing elements. The mound has for the most part been removed by tidal action. Three kerbstones remain in situ 2 metres north of the gallery, and three possible examples can be identified to the north-west.

To the north, the foreshore was deliberately cleared so small craft could land. Not much survives above ground, but the place had a working edge to it, open to the sea.

Sack of Baltimore

What it said · 110 of 110 words

Somewhere close to this place, on the 20th of June 1631, the village of Baltimore in West Cork was attacked by pirates from the Barbary Coast of North Africa. The raiders included Dutchmen, Moroccans, Algerians and Ottoman Turks, and it was the largest Barbary slave raid ever carried out on Ireland. The attack was led by a Dutch captain from Haarlem, Murad Reis the Younger, who had himself been enslaved by the Barbary pirates and freed after converting to Islam. An Irish Catholic fisherman of Old English descent named John Hackett guided Murad's force to the village. Hackett was captain of a fishing boat captured shortly before the raid, and he was said to have led the pirates there in exchange for his own release. Dark conspiracy theories linking Hackett, Sir Walter Coppinger, and Murad persist. Hackett was later hanged from the cliff-top outside the village for conspiracy.

Somewhere close to this place is Dunasead Castle, a 17th-century fortified house sometimes called Baltimore Castle.

The castle is traditionally linked to the chiefs of clan O'Driscoll. Members of the McCarthy family bought it and restored it in the late 1990s, and it has been partially open to the public since 2005.

Plague and ruin among the Mahonys of Castle-island

What it said · 131 of 131 words

Somewhere close to Castle Island, the Mahonys once came into sudden wealth from the gold and goods of a wrecked African ship. They sold the gold to pedlars and shopkeepers in Baltimore and Skibbereen, bought tobacco by the roll and whiskey by the hogshead, and brought a piper from Bantry and a fiddler from Clonakilty. They lived it up every day from Saturday to Thursday, eating bacon, swilling whiskey, dancing, and, as the old saying has it, "running lewdly to the devil." Then the fever came among them, and they died like sheep of the red water. The churchyard has them all now, except one old man, a lone beggarman with no son to carry him to the grave. The gold that came from the sea brought them nothing but ruin.

Somewhere around here in 1585, Doctor James Neylan was granted the castles of Ballyally, Ballyvickahill, and Ballycowrie, with 240 acres of land belonging to them.

The castles and land were to be held by him, his heirs, and assigns forever, freely acquitted and exonerated from composition, rents, and demands of the Earl of Thomond, McNemarra, or any other. They were to be held by knight's service, one-fortieth part of a knight's fee, as of her house and manor of Innigshe. The same record names Boetius Clancy of Knockfynne, a gentleman, who in regard of his birth, learning, and good bringing up, was granted the Castle of Knockfynne with three-quarters and a half of land, freely acquitted and discharged from composition and from all rents and demands of Sir Torlagh O'Brien or any other.

O'Driscoll storms Castlehaven in revenge

What it said · 126 of 168 words

The road is taking you through Castletownshend, and the story here reaches back to 1690. Colonel O'Driscoll was a brave soldier who had commanded a regiment of his own tenantry at the siege of Cork. When Marlborough offered terms, O'Driscoll had no faith in English treaties. He refused, and at the head of four hundred men fought his way through the English lines and reached open country to the north-west of the city. There he learned that young Colonel O'Driscoll, his son or kinsman, had been slain in an attempt to retake Castlehaven, which the British had captured. The country around was despoiled and the people were fleeing to the mountains. Burning with revenge, he marched along the line of the Bandon, passing through Ballineen and Inniskeen, scattering English settlements as he went. Turning westward, he bore directly for Castlehaven, took it by storm, and put the whole English garrison to the sword. Other places fell in quick succession, his force growing with each success. Joined by Colonel McCarthy, they attacked the forces of Tettau under Eppinger, Cox, and Coy, drove them from the interior, and the reduction of the country was abandoned for that time.

Wreck of the Santa Ana Maria (1628)

What it said · 164 of 164 words

Right beside the road here at Reen Point, on the eastern side of the entrance to Castlehaven Harbour, lies the wreck of the Santa Ana Maria, a Spanish galleon lost in 1628. She was the flagship of the New World Spanish treasure fleet of 1627. Her end came after a long and circuitous voyage from Cuba. The fleet had been held up in Matanzas Bay in Cuba, waiting for the trade winds to carry them back to Spain. But the Dutch fleet of the West Indies Company, under Piet Hein, an accomplished privateer and maritime commander, entered the narrow mouth of the bay and captured the full treasure fleet. He took four of the galleons and the treasure in their holds. He made his way back to Holland triumphantly, but some of the ships were scattered by a storm. The Santa Ana Maria was separated from the others and was in turn captured by an English privateer, the Dragon. Her captain was bringing the galleon back to Bristol as a prize. He sailed close to the southern coast of Ireland, and in another storm sought refuge in Castlehaven. The Spanish vessel underestimated the depth of water and was cast upon the rocks on the eastern edge of the entrance to the harbour. The wreck was discovered in the 1970s by local divers, and several guns and artefacts were recovered. One of the guns is now housed in the National Museum of Ireland, along with other artefacts handed over by divers Mr Sidney and David Woodnam.

Burial ground, Reen (Carbery West (E.D) By.)

What it said · 100 of 100 words

Right beside the road here is a burial ground in rough grazing on a west-facing slope. The first Ordnance Survey map, in 1842, marked a triangular area and named it Burial Place. By the 1902 map, a smaller rectangular ground, about 10 metres north-east to south-west and about 5 metres north-west to south-east, was marked about 30 metres to the east and named Burial Ground, Disused. The boundaries are hard to make out now because of heavy overgrowth. The south bank was removed for a new laneway, and a steep scarp defines the north side. Local information says Vice Admiral Boyle Somerville excavated here in the 1930s and uncovered 28 burials. A stone-lined grave, about 1 metre by 1 metre and about 1 metre deep, was found in the north-east corner. This place is known as Cill an Chuais, Church of the recess or hollow. There is a possible souterrain about 40 metres to the north-east.

Local tradition says it was built in 1251, but the ruin itself dates from the 15th or 16th century. It sat on a ridge with an extensive view over the Myross headland and out to sea.

Right here at Aghatubrid More in Cork, there are the remains of a tower house on high ground overlooking Glandore Harbour to the south. It is now built into the south portion of a residential house, with a late 19th-century embattled parapet around the core of the earlier tower. The original walls still show a base batter, a pointed ground floor door in the east wall with a yett hole, and gable-shaped gun loops on the east and west elevations. This was a castle of the O'Donovan clan, the chief seat of Clann Lochlainn.

Coppingers Court

What it said · 68 of 68 words

Right beside the road here at Ballyvireen in Cork are the ruins of Coppinger's Court, a detached U-plan fortified house built about 1610 by Sir Walter Coppinger. It was four storeys, multiple-bay, set within an open field. The pitched gables carried tooled limestone chimneystacks, and the rubble stone walls had sections of lime render and a tooled limestone stringcourse at second-floor level. Rubble stone machicolations sat on tooled limestone corbels. The windows were square-headed with dressed sills, some with stone hood mouldings. One four-light limestone frame survived with mullion, transom, and label moulding. The door surrounds and lintels are now gone. Though it stands in ruins, much of its original form remains, the chimneystacks and machicolations still giving it presence. It was a power centre, most likely influencing the surrounding area. It is thought to have been unoccupied since 1641, when it was burned.

Danish burning of Rossailithir and Kenmare, c.840

What it said · 78 of 78 words

As you pass through Ross Carbery, you are near the old settlement of Rossailithir. Around 840, Northern pirates killed Cormac, son of Selbach, an anchorite whom the source says "the angel let loose three times, but each time he was bound again." They plundered Cork and burned Rossailithir and Kenmare and the greater part of Munster. The men of middle Munster gave them battle, and their slaughter was completed at Ard-Feradagh. In 850, Condach, Abbot of Rossailithir, died.

Cathedral of Ross partly destroyed in the 1641 war

What it said · 138 of 138 words

Coming up along Ross Carbery in Cork. The cathedral here was partly destroyed in the confederate war of 1641. According to Lynch's manuscript history of the Irish sees, the nave and tower of the cathedral were levelled to the ground, while the choir and two chapels remained intact. One of those chapels was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, the other to St. Fachnan. In former times, so great was the concourse of pilgrims to this church on the Feast of the Assumption and the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, that traders used to come with their merchandise from all parts of the island. The fairs that had their origin in this custom ran for a long time with no tax imposed on any articles of merchandise. The war of 1641 brought that era to an end. What had been a great pilgrim destination was left with only its choir and two chapels standing.

A high-pitched roofstone rests on the portals and two large pad-stones to the west. In front of each portal an orthostat forms the inner end of a funnel-shaped approach, and the southern line continues east for 2.5 metres through two pairs of overlapping slabs. Two slabs lean against the south side and three small stones against the north portal, their function unclear.

There is a rounded arch at the south-east corner of the coachyard, and a tall revetment wall runs along the rock face to the south and west. A semi-hexagonal bastion projects from that wall, with blocked-up arched openings that appear to have been made for cannon. The farmyard is now being converted into a folk park.

Henry Sheares senior as MP for Clonakilty

What it said · 171 of 171 words

As you pass through Clonakilty, this is the town that sent Henry Sheares to Parliament. He sat as member for this borough in the Irish House of Commons from 1761 to 1767, through the patronage of his wife's kinsman, the Earl of Shannon. The Parliamentary Debates for those years show he took an active part in the proceedings of the House. Sheares was one of the merchant princes of Cork, a class marked by culture in the eighteenth century, and he stood out even among them. He wrote under the pen-name Agricola for the Cork periodicals of his day, and his readers keenly appreciated his work. Some held that, in the words of the source, "no moralist—not even Mr. Addison—excelled him in the composition" of the moral essay, his favourite form. Madden reproduced two of his essays, one On Forgiveness, the other On Man in Society, and at His Final Separation from it. Beneath the formal style of their time, they show a depth of religion and feeling and a noble philosophy of life. He also founded a Club in the Spectator style, where popular and literary subjects were debated. His friends long remembered his speeches there as, in the source's words, "pleasing memorials of great historical knowledge, a fine taste and graceful elocution." He died in 1776, leaving his widow and family in comfortable circumstances. Nine children are mentioned in his will: Henry, Robert Bettesworth, Richard, John, and Christopher Humphrey, and Letitia, Mary, Jane Anne Bettesworth, and Julia. Their mother's fate was to survive all but the youngest, Julia.

Clonakilty Garda Síochána Station

What it said · 73 of 73 words

Right here in Clonakilty stands a building that began life about 1810 as a military barracks. It was a detached nine-bay two-storey structure, though originally three storeys, with breakfront end bays to the front and a five-bay single-storey arcaded loggia entrance. The design was classical and imposing, with projecting end bays and a central arcade that made a powerful statement of authority over the surrounding area. It occupied a commanding position overlooking the town. The walls were roughcast rendered, with a rendered platband below the eaves and a plinth band. Windows throughout were six-over-six pane timber sliding sash, set in square-headed openings with render sills and raised render reveals. The loggia entrance had arcaded round-headed openings with a limestone stepped approach and concrete platform. A round-headed door opened to the interior of the loggia with double-leaf timber panelled doors and a fanlight. It was burnt in 1921 during the Troubles and rebuilt in 1926 as a two-storey Garda station.

What it said · 129 of 129 words

Right here beside the road in Clonakilty stands a detached three-bay three-storey former fever hospital and dispensary, built about 1850. The Board of Works built it as a fever hospital during the Great Famine. After that it served as a temporary barracks, then a medical dispensary, and finally a school. It is currently vacant. The front faces north-east, with a breakfront end-bay. The walls are rendered, with exposed rubble-limestone on the breakfront. You can see a pointed-arch niche in the gable of the breakfront, with a rendered sill and reveals. The roof is a replacement pitched artificial slate, with a rendered chimneystack. The breakfront has lead-clad gable coping with carved limestone skew corbels. The windows are diminishing square-headed openings with stone sills throughout. They have raised render reveals and roughly cut limestone voussoirs to the gable-front. Some still hold six-over-six and eight-over-eight pane timber sliding sash windows, with remains of four-over-four panes too. The door opening on the front has double-leaf timber battened doors and a blind overlight. It has kept its historic character through those sash windows and fine limestone sills.

Bonaventure Baron sent to Franciscan house of Timoleague

What it said · 144 of 144 words

Coming up now is Timoleague, a town in County Cork. Back in 1626, a young man named Baron was sent here to the Franciscan house for a course of philosophy under Father Eugene Field. Baron's education had begun in a school kept by a person named Sail. He then went to Waterford, where the citizens maintained a public schoolmaster named Flahie. Flahie had fled the Protestant Commissioners in 1615, and an order was taken to suppress him from teaching, for he "traynes upp scholers to become seminarie priests beyonde the seas." Yet Flahie continued teaching, and with him young Baron began the classics. In the summer of 1626, having "profitted well" in his studies, Baron's brother Geoffry sent him to Timoleague. A few months later he entered the Franciscan order. Geoffry wrote to Luke Wadding on the 2nd of December 1626: "Unknowen to any of his friends, he has taken the habitt of your holly Father St Francis the 27 of October last, whome I desire God to his honour and glorie make a good frier."

Timoleague Friary

What it said · 136 of 136 words

Close to here stand the ruins of Timoleague Friary, a medieval Franciscan friary on the banks of the Argideen River, overlooking Courtmacsherry Bay. It was built on the site of an early Christian monastic site founded by Saint Molaga, who also gave the town its name. The remains date from around the turn of the fourteenth century. By the mid-seventeenth century it was an important ecclesiastical centre engaged in significant trade with Spain, when British forces burnt it down. It is the largest medieval ruin in West Cork and one of the few early Franciscan friaries in Ireland with substantial ruins still standing. The layout is claustral, built in the Early English Gothic style. It contains elements unusual for Franciscan architecture of the period, including wall passages and exterior access to its upper floor. The friary was altered in the early sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Several historical artefacts are associated with it, and during the Romantic era it was depicted in several notable artworks.

Castle - tower house, Castle Lower

What it said · 138 of 138 words

Right here beside the road, the ivy-covered remains of a tower house stand on the west bank of the Argideen River, close to where it meets the Courtmacsherry estuary. The tower measures 13.4 metres north to south and 10.8 metres east to west, now standing two storeys high. A photograph from 1907 shows it as a four-storey tower with gables and chimney stacks. The castle was damaged by an explosion in the 1920s, and Cork County Council reduced its height in the 1930s. The north-east corner has collapsed. Pointed-arch doorways on the ground floor sit in the east and south walls, with the south door covered by a gun loop. A window transom now lying at the foot of the south wall carries an inscription: David Barry and Ellen Roche had it cut, dated August 1, 1586, probably marking a refurbishment. A similar inscription was cut at Barryscourt Castle in east Cork.

Coolmain Castle

What it said · 93 of 93 words

Right here beside the road is Coolmain Castle, a country house begun in 1792, built over several periods with later additions and wings. The main block is five bays across and two storeys, with a central gablet. Attached to the north is a two-bay two-storey block with a pair of gables, and square-plan crenellated towers in three and four stages. There is a single-bay single-storey crenellated porch on the central block. The roofs are hipped and pitched in slate, with rendered chimneystacks. The towers have rubble stone walls and crenellated parapets in rubble stone. Openings are square-headed and pointed arch. To the south-east are crenellated screen walls and a tower, with related outbuildings on the site. The house combines a regularly proportioned Georgian form, a wing with gables and pointed arch openings, and crenellated towers. It stands overlooking the sea. The inventory calls it a building of much character and diversity that makes the most of its picturesque location.

Right here is a holy well in woodland at Kilmore, with a gate at the roadside and a path leading to it. The well is a small oval, stone-lined basin under a stone lintel, with a plaque behind it calling it Tober Rí an Domnaig. In the olden days people visited it to cure sore eyes. Local tradition, recorded by Holland in 1908, says the well was formerly located 60 yards west of here. One of the lords of the manor ordered his steward to have the well closed, but the water sprang up again at this spot, and the people continued to pay their rounds at it as before.

Overcrowded Graves and Exposed Bodies at Old Head

What it said · 157 of 157 words

Somewhere around here, close to Old Head, a company entered a churchyard and set down a white coffin. They waited for the widow of the deceased to bring a spade to open the grave. While the dirt was being taken away, she sat down, leaning upon the coffin, setting up the Irish wail in the most pathetic manner. She rehearsed his good qualities by snatches. Then she burst into a gush of tears. Then she commenced again in Irish, because, as she said, meager English has no words to express the height of grief, madness, or joy. The ground was opened but a few inches when the coffin of another was touched. The graveyards are everywhere filled so near the surface that dogs have access, and some parts of the body are often exposed. A holy well near this place once drew the sick. Invalids went there to be healed. It is now surrounded with stone and covered with earth. A path shows the trodden impress of many a knee. Devotees went round seven times, repeating a Paternoster at every revolution, and dropped a stone to show the duty was performed. A hole in a stone was shown where St. Patrick knelt till he wore the stone away. A poor peasant girl, in the simplicity of her heart, explained all the ceremonies and virtues of the well, regretting that the priests had forbidden the practice. A debate was now in progress about good works and the importance of being baptized into the true church. Mrs. G., who professed to be a papist, disputed the ground with them until the contest became so sharp that the narrator retired, for their darkness was painful.

Ice-flow evidence at Old Head, Louisburgh

What it said · 220 of 220 words

You are coming up on Old Head. Geologists proved that ice once moved from east to west along Clew Bay. The evidence is here: marked rocks on Old Head, Louisburgh, and great blocks of serpentine torn from the north slopes of Croagh Patrick Ridge. Hull was the one who noted the serpentine. So the ice carried stone westward across the bay, leaving its trace on this headland. Clare Island sits at the mouth of the bay, 3949 acres, with the Hill of Knock rising 1520 feet and bold cliffs facing the Atlantic. It is most conveniently visited from Achill Sound. A Cistercian abbey was founded there in 1224, and its remains still hold fragments of fresco paintings and the so-called tomb of Grace O'Malley. There is a coat of arms bearing a boar and the motto of the Royal Marines. The tower of Granuaile Castle, Grace O'Malley's old residence, stands above the harbour on the east. She led her clan and gained the title "Grace of the Heroes." She married first O'Flaherty, Prince of Connemara, and after his death Sir Richard Bourke. Otway records that tradition hands down a singular item of the marriage contract: the marriage was to last for certain but one year, and if at the end of that period either said to the other—

Castle - tower house, Downmacpatrick Or Old Head

What it said · 122 of 122 words

Right here beside the road is the tower house at Downmacpatrick, on the Old Head of Kinsale in Cork. It was built by the de Courcey family in the 15th century, though the defences cut into the rock may belong to an earlier promontory fort. The tower stands across a narrow neck of the headland, defended by two lines of fortification about 70 metres apart. The outer line faces inland to the north, a rock-cut fosse with a curtain wall and a central tower house flanked by two mural towers. The inner line faces south, another rock-cut fosse with a slight bank behind it. Both lines are cut through by the modern road leading to the lighthouse. The tower house is three storeys, about 8 and a half metres east to west and 6 metres north to south, standing near full height except the east wall, which survives only to first-floor level. The ground floor door, near the east end of the south wall, is now blocked. A spiral stair in the south-east corner rises from a second door above the ground-floor entrance, giving access to the upper floors and the wall walk. The first floor has a wicker-centred pointed vault running east to west, stopping short of the east wall where the gap was probably covered by lintels. At second-floor level the window embrasures have stone seats. The west wall has no openings, but a mural passage runs through its thickness, linking the wall walks above the north and south walls. The curtain wall is mostly reduced now to a revetment along the fosse, with signs of rebuilding on both sides of the tower. The two mural towers project about 1.2 metres beyond the curtain line. Just inside the curtain, 3 metres from the tower's east wall, a rectangular sunken area faced in stone, about 15 metres by 6, probably marks the remains of a much higher structure.

Right here at Castlelands in Cork stands the remains of a tower house built by the de Courcey family, on a slight rise overlooking the Bandon river.

You can see skewbacks for vaults over the ground and second floors, a doorway at the west end of the north wall, a flat-headed window in the west wall at first floor level, and a wall press at second floor. In Grose's early 19th century depiction the castle was already ruinous, shown with a pointed arch doorway and three storeys above it.

Mary Riordan's grave-clay water cure from Kinsale and Cork graves

What it said · 199 of 199 words

Coming up through Kinsale now. In 1823, a physician here wrote about Mary Riordan of Cork. She had a complaint where, at intervals, she vomited quantities of beetles, some more than half an inch long. They came in all stages of their existence, some as larvae, some as pupae, and some in their winged state. As soon as they were discharged, they flew about the room. The doctor wanted to know how the insects got into her body, and asked had she been in the habit of eating clay. She told him that when she was about 15, two clergymen of her persuasion died. An old woman told her that if she drank daily, for a certain period, water infused with clay taken from the graves of those clergymen, she would be secured for ever against disease and sin. She walked to Kinsale, 12 miles, where one of the clergymen was interred, and brought away an apron and handkerchief full of clay from the grave. She added mugs full of clay from the other clergyman's grave, who was buried in the city of Cork. Her practice was to infuse, from time to time, a portion of the clay in a vessel of water, letting the mixture rest until the grosser particles subsided. She had been in daily use of this water. The beetles discharged from her were principally of the Bleps Mortisaga species, known to inhabit churchyards.

The Slaughter at Kinsale, Christmas Eve 1601

What it said · 125 of 228 words

Somewhere around here, on the 24th of December 1601, the Irish under the Earl of Tyrone and their Spanish allies were defeated at the siege of Kinsale. Lord Deputy Mountjoy had come to assist the Lord President of Munster in reducing the province to submission, and it was at this siege that the victory was won. Richard Boyle, clerk of the council, was sent by Mountjoy to carry the news to London. In his own account, Lord Cork describes the journey. He left the Lord President at Shandon Castle near Cork on Monday morning, about two of the clock, and the next day, being Tuesday, delivered his packet and supped with Sir Robert Cecil, then principal secretary, at his house in the Strand. After supper Cecil held him in discourse until two of the clock in the morning, and by seven that morning called upon him to attend the court, where Cecil presented him to her Majesty in her bed-chamber. The author of this account casts doubt on the whole tale. A journey from Cork to London in thirty-four hours would have been a matter of impossibility at that time, since it is now barely practicable under the most favourable circumstances. Yet most of Boyle's biographers dwell on this journey with unhesitating admiration. Mr. Budgell, in his Lives of the Boyles, says he should have made some difficulty of believing the fact, had he not seen it in Lord Cork's own memoirs, which are evidently written without the least affectation and with a great regard to truth. Having kissed the Queen's hand, Mr. Boyle returned to Ireland.

Burial ground, Ballynacubby

What it said · 57 of 86 words

Right here at Ballynacubby in Cork, a burial ground came to light in 1978 when a housing estate was being built just outside the west side of Kinsale's town walls. About 40 skeletons lay in separate grave pits, roughly half a metre down, laid out east to west in clear rows. No coffins were used; arms were extended with hands crossed over the genital region. No church or associated structures were found. A ring on one finger dates the site to the 16th or 17th century.
