Mullyash Kerbed Cairn

Mullyash Kerbed Cairn is a kerb cairn (bowl barrow) and National Monument located in County Monaghan, Ireland. Location Mullyash Kerbed Cairn is located at the peak of Mullyash Mountain, 7.5 km (4.7 mi) northeast of Castleblayney, near the border. History The cairn dates back to the early Neolithic, c. 4000 BC. The cairn was visible from all parts of the surrounding countryside (at least until the view was blocked by modern tree-planting). From Mullyash one could see as far as Slieve Gullion, Loughcrew, the Mourne Mountains and Cooley Mountains. Until modern times, the cairn was visited by locals on the last Sunday in July (Crom Dubh's Sunday), a remnant of the Celtic festival of Lughnasadh. Celebrants climbed from the southwest, danced and celebrated at the cairn, and walked down to the west to a standing stone. Mullyash was renowned for matchmaking. Local legend connected the cairn with the urn burial of a nobleman's daughter. Her father murdered her after she eloped with a young prince of whom he did not approve. If mortals eat certain foods they can see the gold treasure buried with her; perhaps a remnant of ancient shamanic rituals. Another legend claims that Fionn mac Cumhaill threw a stone from Slieve Gullion to Mullyash (a distance of 16.6 km / 10.3 mi), and this is the standing stone that still is there. Description Mullyash Kerbed Cairn is a stepped two-tiered kerbed cairn or bowl barrow, or possibly a kind of passage grave. The walls are revetted and the cairn is about 16 m (52 ft) in diameter and 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in) high. The standing stone is located 200 m west of the cairn. It once stood 3.6 m (12 ft) high but is now broken. References
Corracloona Court Tomb

Corracloona Court Tomb, commonly called Prince Connell's Grave, is a chamber tomb and National Monument located in the north of County Leitrim in the West of Ireland. Location Corracloona Court Tomb is located on a slope overlooking the northern tip of Lough MacNean, 3.3 km (2 miles) southeast of Kiltyclogher. History Corracloona Court Tomb was built c. 2000–1500 BC, in the early Bronze Age. It is locally known as Prince Connell's Grave (Irish: Feart Chonaill Flaith). There are several nobles of this name in Irish legend; the most likely candidate is Conall Gulban, 5th-century founder of the Cenél Conaill. However, another legend places Conall Gulban's grave at the dolmen at Fenagh. In any case, both Corracloona and Fenagh monuments are thousands of years older than Conall Gulban. It was first excavated in 1953. Description Prince Connell's Grave is usually described as a court tomb (court cairn), although some see it as a dolmen (portal tomb) or Wedge-shaped gallery grave (wedge tomb). It has a small forecourt (1.5 m wide) and only one burial chamber (2 × 3.5 m), with a large slab separating the two. This slab has a large hole in the bottom, called a "kennel-hole"; this is similar to some tombs in southern France, and may have been used to add additional burials, speak to the dead or leave offerings. However, the hole could be an accidental break. References
Carricknagat Megalithic Tombs

Carricknagat Megalithic Tombs are megalithic tombs and a National Monument located in County Sligo, Ireland. Location Carricknagat is located halfway between Ballygawley and Ballintogher, near a source of the Ballisodare River. History Carricknagat tombs were built c. 4000–2500 BC, in the Neolithic. The name means "the cats' stone" or "the pine martens' stone;" ancient monuments are often said to be haunted by wild animals, possibly representing the spirits of the dead. Description West tomb The tomb to the west, a wedge-shaped gallery grave (wedge tomb) called the Giant's Grave, is trapezoidal in plan with the inner end of a SSE-facing gallery (4 × 2.6 m) and is divided by jambs inset in the gallery walls, with a rear chamber 2 m (7 ft) long. The outer chamber is composed of side-stones, an upright stone and four three kerb-stones. East tomb This tomb, a dolmen, is traditionally called Dermot & Grania's Bed. References
Moytirra East

Das Court Tomb von Moytirra East (irisch Maigh Tuireadh Thoir, von altirisch Mag Tured [ˈmaɣˠ ˈturˠeð]; deutsch „Ebene der Säulen“; lokal als Giant’s grave bekannt), liegt in Ballyfarnan, östlich des Lough Arrow im County Sligo in Irland. Court Tombs gehören zu den megalithischen Kammergräbern (englisch chambered tombs) in Irland und Großbritannien. Sie werden mit etwa 400 Exemplaren nahezu ausschließlich in Ulster im Norden der Republik Irland beziehungsweise in Nordirland gefunden. Der U-förmige etwa 7,0 m lange offene Hof im Nordosten führt zu einer gut erhaltene Galerie von etwa 13,0 m Länge und 2,9 bis 1,5 m Breite mit vier Kammern. Die Eintrittssteine der Galerie hatten zugleich die Funktion als mittlere Steine des Hofes, von dem nur ein Orthostat auf der westlichen Seite und zwei auf der östlichen Seite des Hofes überlebten. Am äußeren Ende dieser Hofseite liegt ein bemooster Stein und im rechten Winkel dazu ein anderer niedriger Stein, die offenbar Teile der Fassade waren. Ein Stein im Eingang der Galerie teilt diese in zwei Teile und ein weiterer Stein schließt die östliche Hälfte des Eintrittsspaltes. Die Trennungen zwischen den ersten drei Kammern erfolgten durch Einzelsteine (üblich sind beidseitige Steine), die dritte und vierte Kammer sind durch einen Schwellenstein (englisch sillstone) getrennt. Die Seitensteine der Kammern und der Endstein der Galerie überlebten intakt und es gibt Spuren eines Hügels um die Struktur. In der Nähe liegt die Megalithanlage von Ballindoon.

Horse Island (Cork)

Horse Island (irisch Oileán na gCapall, „die Insel der Pferde“) im irischen County Cork ist eine Insel im Privatbesitz, welche insgesamt sieben Anwesen beherbergt. Die circa 64 Hektar große Insel liegt südwestlich von Irland in der Roaring Water Bay, in der Region West Cork in der Gemeinde Castlehaven (Gleann Bearcháin) und ist mit einem Helikopter oder Boot erreichbar. Eines dieser Anwesen ist das Haupthaus mit sechs Schlafzimmern. Zudem gibt es vier weitere Wohnhäuser und zwei Cottages. Jedes dieser Häuser verfügt über Meerblick und bietet Zugang zum Meer. 2007 wurde die Privatinsel das erste Mal über Engel & Völkers verkauft. Während der Corona-Pandemie wechselte die Insel nun erneut über Engel & Völkers den Besitzer. Horse Island spielt eine zentrale Rolle in Christoph Ransmayrs Roman Der fliegende Berg (2006).

Horse Island, County Cork

Horse Island (Gaeilge: Oileán na gCapall) is a small inhabited island in Roaringwater Bay, County Cork, Ireland, off the coast of Schull, that forms part of Carbery's Hundred Isles. No ferry service operates to and from the island; however, there is a pier, a heliport and a road on the island. The island is privately owned and in 2018 was offered for sale for the price of €6,750,000. The property ultimately sold for a price of €5,500,000 to a European Ultra high-net-worth individual in July 2020. Due to the pandemic, the buyer was not allowed to tour the island but viewed a video tour about its amenities. History In the 19th century, a copper mine was operated on the 157 acre island by West Cork Mining Company, owned most recently by West Cork Mining Company, employing approximately 100 miners at one time. The mine started operating in 1820 and closed in 1874. At its peak in 1841, the island's population was 137. The last permanent resident, Paddy McCarthy, left Horse Island in 1965. In his time, there were only five families on the island. Willie Harcourt-Cooze's father bought Horse Island, where he started farming and living a self-sufficient life. For some years, the island was owned by Gert Kölbel, a wealthy German (inventor of the Bullworker), who renovated a few of the buildings in the 1980s. It was sold to financier Adrian Fitzgibbon and wife Deborah in 2007. In less than a year, they turned a barn into the main house. By the time they listed it for sale in 2018, "The island has seven houses, including a six-bedroom main home, plus a pier, helipad, gym, tennis court ... its own electricity, water and sewage systems" according to The Guardian. Another source added that the island also included "six guesthouses and guest cottages", three diesel generators, wind turbines" and pipes to an underwater aquifer for drinking water. In 2014, an attempt had been made by the Fitzgibbon family to set up an Irish whiskey distillery and visitor centre on the island, but planning permission was refused by An Bord Pleanála. The couple had also attempted to raise Wagyu cattle but that plan did not work successfully. The island still had a "main cattle shed, an implement shed [and a] workshop" as of 2019. As of June 2018, the island had a permanent caretaker. Demographics References

Shanmuckinish Castle

Shanmuckinish Castle (or Seanmuckinish Castle) (Muck inis, Irish for pig island) is a ruined tower house located in Drumcreehy civil parish of County Clare, Ireland. Location The castle is located on the narrowest part of a small peninsula in the townland of Muckinish West, parish of Drumcreehy, close to the N67 coastal road. The closest town is Ballyvaughan. History There are two castles named Muckinish that were reportedly built within three years of each other in the 15th century (Nua means new, Sean means old). Shanmuckinish was repaired around 1836, and as of 1897 was habitable. Due to the similarities of the names of the two castles the chronology of ownership is confused. Shanmuckinish was also known for a time as "Ballynacragga Castle". This may be an indication that the MacNamara family lived here, bringing the name of their family castle near Dromoland Castle from which they were expelled in 1654. Otherwise, both Muckinish castles were inhabited up to the 19th century by members of the O'Loghlen, Neylon and Blake families. Description The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage describes the tower house as the "remains of free-standing square-plan single bay four-storey rubble stone-built tower house, c. 1450." It reaches almost to its original height of around 17 m and is partially collapsed, exposing a cross-sectional view of the interior floors. The stairways have not survived. However, the ruin still features the remains of two vaulted ceilings, intramural passages and stairs. The lower windows are defensive loops, while the upper floors feature larger decorative windows. A bawn wall survives and is in relatively good repair due to work in the 18th and 19th centuries. The first floor reception room had a large fireplace in the west wall and still extant internal wall rendering. The house also has a wall walk and machicolations (of the original four only two survive). References External links Shanmuckinish Castle at the Clare County Library
Cahermacnaghten

Cahermacnaghten (Irish: Cathair Mhic Neachtain) is a ringfort south of Ballyvaughan in the Burren area, in County Clare, Ireland. It, or a nearby building, is the site of the famous O'Davoran law school. The fort is a National Monument. Location The fort lies right close to a road between the village of Ballyvaughan and Kilfenora. It is located in the townland of Cahermacnaghten in the civil parish of Rathborney. History The O'Davorans were the hereditary lawyers (or brehons) of the O'Loghlen family, who styled themselves "Kings of the Burren" in the Middle Ages. Although it was long thought that their law school was located inside the cashel, it is now considered probable that the actual school was another ruined building 870 m to the southwest, known as Cabhail Tighe Breac. At the time the ringfort likely contained a residential building. This was the principal place (ceann áit) of the O'Davoran family. Written evidence of the O'Davorans goes back at least to 1364 (Annals of Connaught). The ringfort was occupied at least into the 17th century, as a 1606 deed specifies the division of the property between two scions of the family. Description The cashel has a diameter of around 100 feet. The interior floor is higher than the surrounding countryside, probably as a result of accumulated occupation debris. The interior contains five rectangular stone buildings. An unusual two-storied 15th-century gatehouse gives access to the ringfort. Although it is now in a state of collapse, 19th- and early 20th-century descriptions and pictures are extant. At least four other cashels, numerous enclosures and various old field walls fill the roughly 3 km long shallow valley running NE to SW. At the time, the area thus contained a large community and was more densely populated in the 16th and 17th centuries than it is now. The probable law school building has been investigated by archaeologists since 2007. It is a single-storied stone building with three rooms and a loft overhead. It likely was built at the turn of the 16th century as a non-residential place. A recent excavation has turned up a piece of slate with a single character inscribed upon it, which may support the assumed use as a school.

Huguenot Cemetery, Cork

Huguenot Cemetery was created between 1710 and 1733 as a cemetery for the Huguenot inhabitants in the city of Cork. It is believed to be one of the last two surviving Huguenot graveyards in western Europe. Cemetery About 5,000 Huguenots came to Ireland during the time when they were fleeing religious persecution, following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in their native France. Hundreds of these refugees settled in Cork. In the area of Lumley Street, now known as French Church Street, they built a school, an almshouse and a graveyard. The cemetery is home to the remains of some of the most prominent Huguenots of the city and it is understood that the remains of at least one former Lord Mayor of Cork are held within. The last recorded use of the graveyard for burial was in 1901. The cemetery is a recorded monument. Further reading "Huguenot Cemetery, Carey's Lane". Corkcity.ie. Retrieved 23 October 2016.
