Coppinger's Court

Coppingers Court is a ruined four-storey fortified house dating from 1616, situated on private property approximately 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) from the sea. It was built by Sir Walter Coppinger and located in Ballyvireen valley, west of Rosscarbery in County Cork, Ireland. The house has a rectangular centre flanked by two wings on the east and west, resulting in a total of 9 gables. History Sir Walter acquired the valley and surrounding lands from the previous owner, Fineen O'Driscoll, by foreclosing on a mortgage after advancing him a sum of money. The house was originally known as "Ballyverine Castle", and Sir Walter's original plans included transforming the immediate area into a market town, with the nearby Rowry river converted to a canal in order to navigate from nearby Milcove to his new town. Sir Walter died in 1639 and is buried in Christ Church, Cork. His surviving plans came to an end when the house was attacked during the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and badly damaged by fire. Despite having a number of sons, Sir Walter's brother, Dominic, took possession of his property. It was never restored and fell into ruins over the following years. It was purchased by Thomas Beecher in 1698, and later held by Henry Beecher. It is not mentioned in Griffith's Valuation in the mid-nineteenth century, when the surrounding land was leased by the Carbery estate. Description Coppinger's Court is built in the Elizabethan style, as was fashionable in Ireland in the 17th century. Older style fortified towers and castles gave way to more comfortable, warmer and better-lit fortified houses with innovations such as wooden stairs, better lighting and more rooms. After the rebellion in 1641 when a number of these newer style houses were burned and destroyed, their popularity waned. At the time, Coppinger Court was said to be one of the finest examples of fortified house in its day, and was said to have "a chimney for every month, a door for every week and a window for every day of the year".

Замок Коппінгерс Корт

Замок Коппінгерс Корт (англ. Coppingers Court) — замок Ірландії, розташований в графстві Корк, у долині Балліверін, на захід від Росскарбері. Нині замок лежить в руїнах. Замок є укріпленим чотириповерховим будинком, що був збудований в 1616 році. Руїни замку стоять на приватній території за 0,8 км від моря. Замок побудував сер Волтер Коппінгер. Замок, за планом, чотирикутний, є два крила: на сході й заході. Історія Сер Волтер Коппінгер купив землі долини Балліверін у колишнього власника — ірландського ватажка і вождя клану, Фініна О'Дрісколла. На цих землях він збудував свою резиденцію. Спочатку, замок мав назву — Балліверін (англ. Ballyverine Castle). Волтер планував збудувати навколо замку — торгове місто й ринок. Як торговий шлях планувалось використати річку Роврі. Сер Волтер Коппінгер помер в 1639 році й був похований в Церкві Христа, що стоїть в графстві Корк. Його плани так і не були реалізовані. У 1641 році спалахнуло повстання за незалежність Ірландії, замок став ареною боїв, був сильно пошкоджений і потім — спалений. Волтер Коппінгер мав багато синів, але не дивлячись на це, його маєтки та землі успадкували не вони, а його брат Домінік. Сини Волтера не змогли повернути собі спадок. Потім ці землі, в 1698 році, придбав Томас Бігер. Потім ці землі успадкував Генрі Бігер. Далі, ці землі здавалися в оренду місцевим фермерам. Замок не згадується під час перепису нерухомості Ірландії, що була здійснена в середині ХІХ століття Гріффітом, коли ці землі й руїни замку були частиною маєтку Карбері. Опис Коппінгерс Корт був побудований в єлизаветському стилі, який був популярний в Ірландії в XVII столітті. До цього, замки будували баштового типу в норманському стилі. На початку XVII сторіччя аристократія хотіла жити в комфортніших й краще освітлених будинках, а ніж баштах, але необхідність жити в фортеці лишалася. Під час повстання 1641 року й подальшої Війни Трьох Королівств більшість цих укріплених будинків легко захоплювалась під час бойових зіткнень і знищувалась вогнем. Такі укріплені особняки після цієї війни вже не будували. У свій час Коппінгерс Корт був одним із найкращих прикладів укріплених особняків. Про такі укріплені будинки казали, що в них «є димар на кожен місяць, двері на кожен тиждень, вікно на кожен день року». Джерела «Coppinger's Court, Cork». Retrieved 2013-08-22. «Abandoned Ireland».

Culleenamore

Culleenamore strand is located on the south side of the half-promontory of Strandhill, at the mouth of Ballysadare Bay, County Sligo, Ireland. Culleenamore is a diverse animal habitat, and also a seal sanctuary. Horse racing at Culleenamore dates back to the early 1800s, and it is possible the tradition originated much earlier; the surrounding sand hills form a natural grandstand for spectators. The races were annually held, with a few lapses, up until 1954. But in recent decades owing to the popularity of the Culleenamore course, racing has been revived again by the local people. Early history The oyster beds at Culleenamore are said to be the oldest in the county and the exquisite oysters were a staple in the diet of the people in the area. Buried under the soil and sand are huge mounds of oyster shells. The sides of some of these banks close to the shore have been worn away to reveal piles of shells antiquarians call Kitchen-middens These remarkable artifacts show that ancient people gathered oysters along the shore at Culleenamore then cooked and ate them at these sheltered spots behind the ‘sandy fields’ thousands of years ago.

Dangan Castle

Dangan Castle is a former stately home in County Meath, Ireland, which is now in a state of ruin. It is situated by Dangan Church on the Trim Road. The castle is the former seat of the Wesley (Wellesley) family and is located outside the village of Summerhill. It was the childhood home of Field Marshal The 1st Duke of Wellington. Wellesleys The Wesley (later spelled and pronounced Wellesley) family had occupied the land since the conquests of Henry II of England. The medieval castle, which was once their seat, now exists only as a ruined tower. The modern house was originally built in the early 1700s as Dangan House by Richard Colley, who demolished the old castle. Colley had inherited the estate from the childless Gerald Wesley, on condition that he changed his surname. He became the Right Honourable Richard Wesley, 1st Baron Mornington, and spent a considerable sum of money improving and maintaining the gardens of 600 Irish acres. These included a lake covering 26 acres, with a fort, several islands, and several ships. These were described in detail by Mary Delany. Richard was succeeded by his son Garret Wesley, 1st Earl of Mornington. Garret's son Arthur Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington, spent most of his childhood at the castle and gardens. The property passed out of the hands of the Wellesley family after Arthur's older brother Richard Wellesley, 1st Marquess Wellesley inherited it in 1781. He sold it to Thomas Burrowes of the East India Company. Later history The castle was occupied in the early years of the 19th century by Roger O'Connor, who acquired it from Burrowes on a permanently renewable lease. O'Connor, a passionate Irish nationalist, asserted that he had acquired it as "a suitable residence in which to entertain Napoleon" after the defeat of Britain. In 1809, during O'Connor's occupation, there was a serious fire that destroyed much of the building. Insurance fraud was suspected, but O'Connor's son Francisco Burdett O'Connor wrote in his autobiography 60 years later that he had accidentally started the fire himself when melting lead to create bullets. In 1817 O'Connor was accused of having plotted with his estate manager and labourers to rob a mail coach, during which a guard was shot and killed. He was acquitted after a sensational trial, but left the building soon afterwards. The already seriously damaged castle and grounds rapidly fell into a state of irretrievable disrepair after O'Connor's departure. By 1841, The Irish Penny Journal noted that "nothing but the outer walls remain, and the interior space, once formed into ample halls and chambers, has been converted into a flower garden". It added that in the recent past it had been "a place of concealment for plunder and a resort of thieves". In September 2013 Dangan Castle and its surroundings were put up for sale.

Histoire Ancien siège de la famille Wesley (Wellesley), il n'en reste qu'une tour en ruine. La maison moderne fut construite avec les pierres du château dans les années 1700. Le 1er baron Wesley Mornington consacre une somme importante pour son entretien et l'entretien des 600 acres de jardins qui comprennent un lac, un fort et des îles. Le château est vendu à la fin du XVIIIe siècle à un membre de la compagnie britannique des Indes orientales, Thomas Burrowes. Il est occupé au XIXe par Roger O'Connor (en). En 1809, un incendie détruit une grande partie du bâtiment. Une fraude à l'assurance est alors suspectée mais Francisco Burdett O'Connor (en) révélera dans son autobiographie avoir mis le feu par accident en essayant de faire fondre du plomb pour fabriquer des balles. Le château tombe progressivement en ruine après le départ de Roger O'Connor vers 1817. En 1841, The Irish Penny Journal écrit à son sujet : « nothing but the outer walls remain, and the interior space, once formed into ample halls and chambers, has been converted into a flower garden ».

Замок Данган

Замок Данган (англ. Dangan Castle) — руины дворянской усадьбы в ирландском графстве Мит, принадлежавшей роду Уэсли (Уэлсли). Находится около деревни Саммерхилл, возле церкви Данган на Трим-роуд. Здесь вырос известный военачальник герцог Веллингтон. Уэлсли Семья Уэсли (позже писалось и произносилось как «Уэлсли») занимала эту землю со времён Генриха II Плантагенета. От средневекового замка, который когда-то был их резиденцией, теперь осталась только разрушенная башня. Современный дом, называемый Данган-Хаус, был первоначально построен в начале 1700-х годов Ричардом Колли, который разрушил старый замок. Колли унаследовал поместье от бездетного Джеральда Уэсли при условии, что он сменит свою фамилию. Он стал достопочтенным Ричардом Уэсли, 1-м бароном Морнингтоном, и потратил значительную сумму денег на улучшение и содержание садов на площади в 600 ирландских акров (примерно 400 гектаров). Также в поместье было озеро площадью 26 акров (17 гектаров) с фортом, несколькими островами и несколькими кораблями. Всё это было подробно описано Мэри Делейни. Ричарду унаследовал его сын Гаррет Уэсли, 1-й граф Морнингтон. Сын Гаррета Артур Уэлсли, будущий герцог Веллингтон, провёл большую часть своего детства в усадьбе. Собственность перешла из рук семьи Уэлсли после того, как старший брат Артура Ричард Уэлсли, 1-й маркиз Уэлсли, унаследовал её в 1781 году. Он продал её Томасу Берроузу из Ост-Индской компании. Дальнейшая история В первые годы 19-го века в замке жил Роджер О’Коннор, который приобрёл его у Берроуза на условии постоянно возобновляемой аренды. О’Коннор, страстный ирландский националист, утверждал, что он приобрёл замок как «подходящую резиденцию для развлечения Наполеона» после того, как тот разгромит Британию. В 1809 году во время проживания в замке О’Коннора произошёл серьёзный пожар, который разрушил бо́льшую часть здания. Появились подозрения о махинациях со страховкой, но сын О’Коннора Франсиско Бёрдетт О’Коннор написал в своей автобиографии 60 лет спустя, что он сам сам случайно начал пожар, когда плавил свинец для отливки пуль. В 1817 году О’Коннор вместе со своим управляющим и рабочими был обвинён в заговоре с целью ограбления почтовой кареты, в результате чего был застрелен охранник. После ставшего сенсацией процесса он был оправдан, но вскоре покинул замок. После ухода О’Коннора и без того серьёзно поврежденный замок и прилегающая к нему территория быстро пришли в состояние полного упадка. К 1841 году газета «The Irish Penny Journal» отметила, что в замке «не осталось ничего, кроме наружных стен, и внутреннее пространство, когда-то составлявшее обширные залы и комнаты, было превращено в цветочный сад». Также указывалось, что в недавнем прошлом это было «место укрытия награбленного и воровской притон». В сентябре 2013 года замок Данган и его окрестности были выставлены на продажу.

Dysart Castle

Dysart Castle is a castle ruins and property just outside Thomastown in County Kilkenny, Ireland. History It is best known as the childhood home of George Berkeley (1685–1753), the Irish philosopher for whom Berkeley, California and the Trinity College Dublin Berkeley Library are named. The property is currently privately owned and the castle in urgent need of restoration. Located south of Thomastown, the site has held a medieval church, the castle, and other buildings. The castle and church property are situated low along the sharp curve of the River Nore. The church was originally adjoined to the castle but the properties were eventually separated by 21 ft. Dysart Castle was small and considered "rudely built," divided by a stone arch, with an access path in the second storey leading into the church. Dysart's lands and structures were granted to the Priory of Kells by founder Geoffrey fitz Robert in 1193. The charter suggests that it was known as Dysart of St. Mo-Colm-óg, or Colman, meaning St. Colman was the patron of the place. The church and castle and surrounding property belonged to the Priory of Kells, until suppression in 1540. Accounts conflict over whether Berkeley was born at Dysart Castle in 1684; he was, however, raised on the grounds of Dysart, his family home which stood beside Dysart Castle. In the 2000s, with a summary report released in 2009, archaeologist Ben Murtaugh conducted an excavation of the area with the support of fund from the Royal Irish Academy. Ruins of three stone buildings remain above ground on the property and are situated next to or close to each other; four periods of activity were identified with the site. The first period related to the Early Medieval monastic site and church, associated with St. Colman. This included a primary stone church and graveyard, a round house, two cross slabs and Romanesque architectural fragments. In the second period, the site was an out farm or grange of the Augustinian Priory of Kells (c. 1200–1540). This included an extension to the church, the construction of a tower house and the later phases of the graveyard. The third period involved the post-medieval redevelopment of the site, following the abandonment of the graveyard for burials and the church for worship. The church appeared to have been converted into an outhouse or barn. Furthermore, a long dwelling house was constructed to the south of the tower house. In this third period, the place was the childhood home of philosopher George Berkeley (1685–1753). Due to degradation of structures, Dysart is now considered a romantic ruin. In April 2003, The Irish Times published an urgent appeal for assistance for restoration of Dysart Castle and cited the risk of "imminent collapse" following the emergence of new cracks in the walls of the castle; previously conservation work had been conducted with the aid of Kilkenny County Council acting for the Department of the Environment and private efforts.

Eagle Island lighthouses

The Eagle Island lighthouses are a pair of lighthouses on Eagle Island, County Mayo, Ireland, of which only one remains operational. Two lighthouses were commissioned in 1830 in response to requests from the Coastguards who were concerned at the sea conditions at Blackrock, further south. The Board inspector, however, ruled in favor of locating the new lighthouses on Eagle Island, one in the east and the other in the west, with 121 metres (132 yd) between them, at a cost of almost £40,000 (roughly £2,900,000 or €5,000,000 in 2025). Their lights were aligned at a height of 67 m (220 ft) above sea level and could be seen to the east as far as Broadhaven Bay and to the south as far as Blacksod Bay. The lighthouses became operational in September 1835. Eagle Island is located close to the edge of the Continental Shelf and is constantly pounded by powerful waves from the Atlantic. When the lighthouses were first built in the 19th century there were two lighthouses and seven dwelling houses on Eagle Island, according to the 1841 census. By the 1911 census, there was only one dwelling house listed on the island. Despite the erection of a massive storm wall to protect the lighthouses, the lights were repeatedly hit by waves coming off the Atlantic. Although the lighthouse sites sit almost 60 m (200 ft) above the high water mark, during a severe storm on 17 January 1836, a rock was thrown up the cliffs and smashed the glass in a window 27 m (87 ft) high up in the tower building. On 11 March 1861 at midday the light room of the East tower was struck by a rogue wave, smashing 23 panes, washing some of the lamps down the stairs, and damaging the reflectors with broken glass beyond repair. The light was restored the following night with a reduced number of lamps and reflectors. So much water cascaded down the tower in the incident that it was impossible for the keepers to open the door at the base, and they had to drill holes in it to let the water out. Storms constantly batter the lighthouse at Eagle Island and gradually it was realized that Eagle Island was not well suited to human habitation. The families on the island were rehoused near to Corclough on the mainland at the end of the 19th century, although lighthouse keepers remained resident. On 31 March 1988 the lighthouse was made automatic and there have been no lighthouse keepers resident on the island since.

Phares d'Eagle Island

Les phares d'Eagle Island étaient une paire de phare située sur la petite île inhabitée d'Eagle Island au nord de la péninsule de Mullet, près d'Erris dans le Comté de Mayo en Irlande. Seul, l'un des deux est encore en fonction. Il est exploité par le Commissioners of Irish Lights. Histoire Les deux phares ont été commandés en 1830 en réponse aux demandes des garde-côtes irlandais (Irish Coast Guard) concernés par les conditions difficiles de mer proche de Blackrock. L'inspecteur de la commission des phares a statué en faveur de la localisation des nouveaux phares sur Eagle Island , un à l'est et l'autre à l'ouest avec 121 mètres d'intervalle entre eux. Leurs feux ont été alignés à une hauteur de 67 m au-dessus du niveau de la mer et on pouvait les voir à l'est jusqu'à Broadhaven Bay (en) et au sud jusqu'à la baie de Blacksod. Les phares sont devenus opérationnels en septembre 1835. Eagle Island est situé à proximité du bord du plateau continental et est constamment pilonné par les vagues puissantes de l'Atlantique. Lorsque les phares ont été construits au XIXe siècle, il y avait deux phares et sept maisons d'habitation sur Eagle Island, selon le recensement de 1841. En 1911, il n'y avait qu'une seule maison d'habitation répertoriée sur l'île. Malgré l'érection d'un mur massif pour protéger les phares, l'un des phares a été détruit par les tempêtes violentes et ses vestiges sont encore visibles. Bien que les phares soient hauts de plus de 60 m, une tempête le 17 janvier 1836, a projeté un rocher provenant de la falaise dans une fenêtre à 27 m de haut. Le 11 mars 1861, à midi, la salle de la lanterne de la tour est a été frappée par la mer, écrasant 23 vitres et endommageant les lampes et réflecteurs. La feu fut rétabli la nuit suivante avec un nombre réduit de lampes et de réflecteurs. Les tempêtes battent constamment le phare et peu à peu, il a été admis que Eagle Island n'était pas bien adapté à l'habitation humaine. Les familles de l'île ont été relogées près de Corclough sur le continent à la fin du XIXe siècle, bien que les gardiens de phare restent résidents. Le 31 mars 1988, le phare est devenu automatique et il n'y a pas eu de gardien de phare résidant sur l'île depuis.
