Rappa Castle

Rappa Castle is a ruined castle located in Ballina, County Mayo, Ireland. History Rappa Castle was held by the Bourke family and was granted to a Cromwellian soldier named Crofton. In the 17th century William Knox of Castlerea (born 1630) married a Crofton of Rappa Castle. The castle remained the home of the Knox family until the 1920s. Francis Knox, 3rd son of Francis Knox of Moyne Abbey and his wife Dorothy Annesley, was born 1726 and married Mary Gore of Belleek, heiress of Rappa, in 1761. He settled there and was High Sheriff of Mayo. Rappa passed in 1818 to his son Annesley Gore Knox (1768–1839) who was high sheriff in 1825 and father of eight sons. The next occupant, the latter's eldest son Annesley (1798–1878), was high sheriff in 1829. He was survived by three sons, of whom Annesley Arthur succeeded to the estate. He was high sheriff in 1884. The Knox family left the castle after the Irish War of Independence and it came into the possession of William Gillespie. The Gillespie family which included 13 children lived in the castle until the upkeep became too much. William Gillespie built a new home for the family in front of the house where the family lived until 2001. The remains of the castle stand behind the house. The castle is a listed protected structure. References
Замок Раппа

Замок Раппа (англ. Rappa Castle) — один із замків Ірландії, розташований у графстві Мейо, біля селища Балліна Бел ан Аха. Нині замок лежить у руїнах. Історія замку Раппа Замок Раппа був побудований феодалами Берк. Довгий час вони володіли цим замком, аж доки в 1641 році спалахнуло повстання за незалежність Ірландії. Олівер Кромвель втопив повстання в крові і конфіскував замки та землі в колишніх власників і дарував їх своїм солдатам і офіцерам. Замок Раппа був подарований солдату на прізвище Крофтон. Потім Вільям Нокс із Кастлера (1630 року народження) одружився з леді Крофтон — спадкоємицею замку Раппа. З того часу замком володіла родина Нокс аж до 1920 року. Френсіс Нокс — третій син Френсіса Нокса з абатства Мойн та його дружини Дороті Аннеслі народився 1726 року. Він одружився з Мері Гор, що була родом з Белліка. Вони успадкували замок Раппа в 1761 році. Френсіс Нокс оселився в замку Раппа і став верховним шерифом Мейо. У 1818 році замок успадкував їхній син Гор Нокс (1768—1839). Він теж став верховним шерифом Мейо в 1825 року. У нього було восьмеро синів. Замок успадкував старший син — Аннеслі Гор Нокс (1878—1878). Він став верховним шерифом графства Мейо в 1829 році. Його пережили троє його синів, у тому числі Артур, що успадкував замок та маєток і став верховним шерифом Мейо в 1884 році. У 1919—1922 роках йшла війна за незалежність Ірландії. Родина Нокс залишила замок і ці землі. Замок та землі Раппа перейшли у володіння Вільяма Гіллеспі. Він мав 13 дітей і побудував новий будинок Білт-Хаус біля замку Раппа. Там родина Гіллеспі жила до 2001 року. Замок був закинутий і перетворився в руїну. Потім будинок спіткала така ж доля. Нині замок охороняється законом, але лишається пусткою, яка поступово руйнується.

Rathbeagh

Rathbeagh (Irish: Ráth Bheathach, meaning 'rath of birches') is a townland and hill on the River Nore in the parish of Lisdowney near Ballyragget, County Kilkenny, Ireland. The Irish language name is Rath Beithigh, meaning "rath (ringfort) of the birch trees". It is located in an ancient valley once called Mágh Airgid Rois ("plain of the silver wood"). The townland of Rathbeagh, which is 2.5 square kilometres (0.97 sq mi) in area, had a population of 52 as of the 2011 census. Built heritage Ringfort The hill and ringfort (rath) at Rathbeagh, which gives the townland its name, consists of a flat-topped oval mound about 41 metres (135 ft) north to south and 36 metres (118 ft) east to west. A fosse 3.7 metres (12 ft) wide surrounds the mound, leaving a gap at the river's edge. Outside there is a rampart about 3 metres (9.8 ft) high. The whole structure overlooks a bend on the Nore. The river is fordable at this location, so strategically the fort controlled the crossing. According to local tradition, the ringfort is the burial place of Heremon, son of the Celtic leader Milesius. Ecclesiastical enclosure The remains of a church, dedicated to St. Catherine, are located in an enclosed graveyard situated approximately 300 metres (980 ft) north of the ringfort. The church is built on the site of an earlier castle or stronghouse. Remains of what are believed to be stables or workshops were discovered in the adjacent field. The earliest gravestone date that can be distinguished in the graveyard is 1715. Just east of the old church is a pond under the road, known locally as Poll Leabhair, meaning "pond of the book" or "hole of the book". According to tradition, the church was desecrated during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, and the missal was dumped in this pond. In the mid-19th century, a church bell was found in a sand-pit in a nearby field and was presented to the Church of Ireland church in Killeshan, County Carlow. Holy well A former holy well in the townland, Saint Catherine's Well or Tubber Naev Kathaleen, is recorded in the Record of Monuments and Places under record number "KK009-049----". The well was disused, and possibly destroyed, by 1839 when Eugene O'Curry wrote that it had historically been the site of a patron held annually on 24 June and 6 December in honour of St. Catherine. As of the 21st century, no trace of the holy well remains. Local folklore suggests that the well's water was used as a cure for eye disease.

Rathlin Castle

Rathlin Castle (irisch Caisleán Reachlainn, auch Bruce’s Castle) ist eine Burgruine auf der Insel Rathlin vor der Küste des nordirischen County Antrim. Geschichte Im Jahre 1306 zog sich König Robert I. von Schottland für den Winter auf Rathlin Castle zurück, nachdem er in der Schlacht bei Methven von Sir Aymer de Valence und in der Schlacht bei Dalrigh von Alexander of Argyll besiegt worden war. Mit ihm kam nur eine kleine Gruppe seiner getreuesten Männer, z. B. James Douglas, Lord of Douglas, die Bruce-Brüder Thomas, Alexander und Edward, Sir Neil Campbell und Malcolm, 5. Earl of Lennox. Sie wurden von den Besitzern der Insel und der Burg, der schottisch-irischen Familie Bissett, Herren der Glens of Antrim, willkommen geheißen. Den Bissetts wurde später vom englischen König deswegen das Eigentum an der Insel aberkannt. Im Juli 1575 griffen englische Streitkräfte unter der Führung von Sir Francis Drake und John Norreys die Burg mit Kanonen an, und als sich die Garnison von einigen MacDonnells of Antrim ergab, töteten sie die Verteidiger mit Ausnahme einiger Gefangener und der Bewohner der Insel. Der Vorfall wurde als Rathlin-Massaker bekannt. Die Hauptarmee der MacDonnells of Antrim, die unter der Führung von Somhairle Buidhe Mac Domhnaill (Sorley Boy MacDonnell) in Ballycastle stationiert war, wurde Zeuge der Vorgänge auf Rathlin, wo die Familien und Wertsachen in Sicherheit gebracht worden waren. Mac Domhnaill führte seine Armee in einem erfolgreichen Vergeltungsangriff auf Carrickfergus, von wo aus der Angriff auf Rathlin gestartet war. Quellen Scott: Robert the Bruce. S. 84–85.

Rathlin Castle

Rathlin Castle, also known as Bruce's Castle, was a castle on Rathlin Island off the coast of County Antrim in Northern Ireland. History Rathlin Castle was probably built for Sir John de Courcy in the early thirteenth century. In 1213, it was granted to Donnchad mac Gilla Brigte, and passed into the possession of the de Lacys two years later. Later in the century, it passed into the possession of the Bissets. In 1306, after being defeated by Sir Aymer de Valence at the Battle of Methven, and then by the Lord of Lorne at the Battle of Strathfillan, King Robert I of Scotland retired to Rathlin Castle for the winter with a small following of his most faithful men, including James Douglas, Lord of Douglas, Bruce's brothers Thomas, Alexander and Edward, as well as Sir Neil Campbell and Malcolm II, the Earl of Lennox. Angus Og Macdonald, friend to Robert Bruce, had brought them there in his galleys from Dunaverty on Kintyre with three hundred of his men. They were welcomed by the owners of the island and castle, the Scoto-Irish Bissett family, Lords of the Glens of Antrim, who were kin to the Macdonalds. Later, the Bissetts were dispossessed of the castle by the English for this reason. In July 1575, English forces led by Francis Drake and John Norreys attacked the castle with cannons and upon the surrender of the garrison of some MacDonnells of Antrim, the defenders, except for some prisoners, and the island's residents were put to the sword; the event is known as the Rathlin Island Massacre. The main army of MacDonnells of Antrim, led by Sorley Boy MacDonnell and stationed at Ballycastle, had witnessed the event taking place on Rathlin Island, where their families and valuables had been lodged for safety. Sorley Boy led his army in a successful retaliatory raid on Carrickfergus, from where the Rathlin Island raid had left. Citations References Scott, Robert the Bruce, pp. 84–85.

Redmonds GAA

Redmonds Hurling and Football Club was a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in the Tower Street area of Cork, Ireland. The club was affiliated to the Seandún Board and fielded teams in both hurling and Gaelic football. History Redmonds Hurling and Football Club was founded in 1892 when a group of players, nicknamed "the 12 apostles", left St Finbarr's National Hurling & Football Club due to a political split between pro- and anti-Parnellites. The new team was named after the leader of the pro-Parnell faction of the Irish Parliamentary Party, John Redmond. The new club ended their debut year by winning the Cork SHC for the first time. Redmonds subsequently represented Cork in the inter-county series of games and also won the 1892 All-Ireland SHC title after a win over Dublin in the final. Five Cork SHC titles were won in all, with further victories coming in 1900, 1901, 1915 and 1917. The club also won Munster SHC titles in 1901 and 1915. Redmonds also had successes in the lower grades of Cork hurling. They won five Cork JHC title, including four successive titles between 1896 and 1900, before securing the full set of honours with the Cork IHC title in 1913. Redmonds contested their last Cork SHC final in 1927. Redmonds decline as a force in Cork hurling was gradual over the course of the following decades, as players gravitated towards bigger local clubs such as St Finbarr's and Nemo Rangers. The club was also hindered by having no official playing field of their own, however, this issue was resolved in 1984 when Páirc Uí Laoire was opened in 1984. The changing demographics of the southside of the city also meant that playing numbers dwindled, while the club was unable to develop an underage structure for the children living in its natural catchment area. Redmonds officially disbanded on 31 December 2018.

Finn Park

Finn Park è uno stadio irlandese, situato a Ballybofey, in cui si disputano le partite casalinghe dei Finn Harps Football Club, che militano tuttora nella League of Ireland First Division. Le condizioni dell'impianto sono precarie sebbene lavori recenti, tra cui la costruzione di vere e proprie gradinate, l'hanno reso uno dei migliori stadi tra quelli in cui giocano i club di First Division. Solo tre delle quattro tribune sono aperte ufficialmente: la Shed, tribuna coperta e in parte caratterizzata dalla presenza di seggiolini, che si trova dietro alla Navenny Road; la Town End che si trova a ridosso della Chestnut Road, e la Gantry. La River End è chiusa e sfruttata come parcheggio per ambulanze. La separazione delle tifoserie, seppure ufficiale sulla carta, non è mai applicata. I Finn Harps si trasferiranno presso un nuovo stadio da 6 000 posti a sedere, collocato sull'altra sponda del Finn, vicino a Stranorlar. I lavori sono iniziati nell'ottobre 2008 e quando lo stadio verrà ultimato, Finn Park verrà demolito.

Richmond Tower (Kilmainham)

The Richmond Tower is an historical gateway to the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, Dublin, designed by Francis Johnston and named after the Duke of Richmond, the Lord Lieutenant at the time. Built between 1810 and 1811, the gateway originally stood beside the River Liffey at Barrack Bridge at the junction of Watling Street and Victoria Quay, the tower had to be moved after the building of nearby Kingsbridge Station in 1846 caused traffic congestion at the site. The tower was dismantled and erected at its present location the following year at the expense of the railway company. Following the move the structure was renamed from Watling Street Gatehouse to Richmond Tower, though it is sometimes referred to as the West Gate due to its location west of the main hospital building. Johnston had placed his personal coat of arms above the arch, concealed by a piece of wood painted to match the stone, his idea being that his arms would be revealed to future generations after the wood became rotten. However, this was uncovered when the gateway was taken down for removal. The current coat of arms on the gateway is that of the Royal Hospital. The tower is made from Dublin calp limestone.
