The Wonderful Barn

The Wonderful Barn (englisch ‚Die wunderbare Scheune‘, irisch An Iothlainn Aisteach) ist eine Scheune in Korkenzieherform auf dem Gelände von Castletown House zwischen Leixlip und Celbridge im County Kildare, Irland. Es wurde 1743 auf der Leixlip zugewandten Seite des Anwesens erbaut. Die Treppe der Scheune führt auf der Außenseite des Gebäudes nach oben. Zum Ensemble gehören zwei kleinere Taubenschläge, die die Scheune an zwei Seiten flankieren. Theorien zum Verwendungszweck Zum möglichen Zweck dieses ungewöhnlichen Gebäudes gab es im Laufe der Zeit unterschiedliche Spekulationen. Eine Theorie basiert auf der im Georgianischen Zeitalter üblichen Verwendung von Tauben als Delikatesse, wenn saisonbedingt kein Wild oder andere Tiere zur Verfügung standen. Diese Theorie deutet The Wonderful Barn als Taubenschlag. Die Höhe des Gebäudes würde sich auch für eine Nutzung durch Sportschützen eignen, wodurch die Theorie aufgestellt wurde, es könnte sich um einen Turm handeln, der zum Schießen oder von Jagdaufsehern verwendet wurde. Der Turm ist von den Fenstern auf der Ostseite von Castletown House sichtbar, so dass es sich auch lediglich um ein Folly für diesen Ausblick handeln könnte. Da das Gebäude jedoch über ein mittig angeordnetes Loch in jedem Geschossboden verfügt, wird allgemein davon ausgegangen, dass es sich um einen Getreidespeicher handelt. Das Gebäude wurde in den Jahren direkt nach der Irischen Hungersnot (1740–1741) gebaut, in denen ein Bedarf an neuen Getreidespeichern zur Vorbeugung zukünftiger Hungersnöte bestand. Die Conollys waren Besitzer des Gutes Kilmacredock, das sie verpachtet hatten. Ein Getreidespeicher wäre für ihre Pächter hilfreich gewesen. Wahrscheinlich diente das Bauprojekt auch dem Zweck, der armen Bevölkerung der Umgegend Erwerbsmöglichkeiten zu schaffen. Diese Absicht hatte bereits ein anderes Bauprojekt verfolgt, das 1740–1741 auf dem Anwesen durchgeführt worden war: die Errichtung eines Obelisken mit der heutigen Bezeichnung Conolly’s Folly. Ein ähnliches Gebäude, eine Imitation des Wonderful Barn, ist der Bottle Tower (engl. ‚Flaschenturm‘) in Churchtown (Dublin), in der Nähe von Rathfarnham.

The Wonderful Barn

The Wonderful Barn is a corkscrew-shaped building on the edge of Castletown House Estate, formerly of the Conolly family, in Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland. The barn itself is formally in neighbouring Leixlip. Structure Flanked by two smaller dovecote towers, the barn was built with the stairs ascending around the exterior of the building. History The barn was built in 1743 on the Leixlip side of the Castletown Estate. Several purposes are suggested for the unique structure: One theory is based on the custom in Georgian times of using doves as a delicacy when other game or animals were not in season, and suggest its use as a dovecote. The height of the structure would also lend itself to sport shooting, supporting another theory of its use as a shooting or gamekeepers tower. The tower is seen from the east windows of Castletown House, so it filled that vista, possibly as a folly. However, a central hole through each of the floors supports the generally accepted theory of its use as a granary. The barn was built in the years immediately following the famine of 1740–41, as there was a need for new grain stores in case of another famine. The Conollys owned Kilmacredock and rented it out, so the barn was also useful for their tenants. The construction project also likely served as a way to keep the local poor employed. In this, it is not unlike the Conolly Folly (an Obelisk), which was built on the estate in 1740-41. A similar structure known as the Bottle Tower, built in imitation of the Wonderful Barn, is located in Churchtown, close to Rathfarnham. See also The Minaret of Samarra References

Tinnakill Castle

Tinnakill Castle (Irish: Tigh na Coille, lit. 'house of the wood'), also known as Tynekill, is a ruined medieval tower house in the parish of Coolbanagher, in the Barony of Portnahinch, County Laois in Ireland. History Some sources suggest that the four-storey tower house dates from the mid-15th century and was built by Eoin Carragh MacDonnell (known as "John the Scabbed"), on the site of an earlier castle. Other sources date the structure to the 16th century, noting that it may have been owned by the O'Connor family before becoming a seat of the MacDonnells. Associated with the McDonnell family for some time, the last McDonnell to hold Tinnakill was James McDonnell, from whom the site was seized following his role in the Irish Rebellion of 1641. The tower house subsequently fell into disrepair, with some structural works undertaken to protect the ruin in the 19th century. Form The tower house was built of limestone over four storeys, with dimensions of up to 10 metres by 11.8 metres. A sheela na gig figure was originally carved on a limestone window jamb on the building's second floor; it was removed in later centuries. Further reading Erasmus Burrowes, Bart. (1854).

Tirawley

Tirawley (Irish: Tír Amhlaidh), archaically known as Tyrawley, is a barony extending southward from the north coast of County Mayo, Ireland. It was created during the shiring of County Mayo out of the Gaelic túath or territory of Tír Amhlaidh, from which it takes its name. It the second-largest barony in Ireland, nearly 1,000 km2 (250,000 acres) in extent. (Kilmacrenan, County Donegal is about 1⁄4 as large again.) The title Baron Tyrawley was created twice, in 1706 and 1797. In the 19th century, the writer Caesar Otway (1780–1842) wrote Sketches of Erris and Tyrawley, an account of life in North Mayo just prior to the Irish Famine of 1845-1847. Dún Briste at Downpatrick Head and the Ceide Fields are located on the north coast of the barony. The town of Killala is on its east coast, where it looks across the bay at Enniscrone, County Sligo. The historical barony of Tirawley also includes: Ballina Moygownagh Killala Crossmolina Pontoon, County Mayo Ceide Fields Ballycastle Belderrig Etymology The etymology of 'Tirawley' (Tír Amhlaidh) in Irish derives from its constituent parts, 'Tír' and 'Amhlaidh'. The term 'Tír' comes from Old Irish 'tír', meaning “dry land” as opposed to a lake or sea, sharing etymological roots with the English word 'thirst' and the Latin 'terra', both indicating dryness or land. 'Amhlaidh', on the other hand, is derived from Old Irish 'Amlaíb', which originates from the Old Norse name 'Óláfr'. In Irish, 'Amhlaidh' is a male given name equivalent to 'Olaf' in English. Thus, 'Tír Amhlaidh' combines these elements to mean 'Land of Olaf' in English, signifying a territory associated with or named after an individual named Olaf. Annalistic references U913.6.

Derrynane Abbey

Die Ruine der Derrynane Abbey (auch Ahamore Abbey genannt, irisch Tigh Mór Dhoire Fhíonáin) in der irischen Grafschaft Kerry befindet sich auf der kleinen Insel namens Abbey Island, an der südwestlichen Küste der Iveragh-Halbinsel, die zum Derrynane National Historic Park gehört. Der nächstgelegene Ort ist Caherdaniel. Geschichte Das Kloster der Iroschottischen Kirche wurde der Legende nach von St. Fionan im 6. Jahrhundert gegründet. Der Name Derrynanes ist vom Namen dieses bedeutenden irischen Inselheiligen abgeleitet, Doire Fhionain („Fionan's Wood/Fionans Wald“). St. Fionan, besser bekannt unter dem Namen Finnian von Clonard, lebte von 470 bis 549 n. Chr. und gilt als der „Lehrer der irischen Heiligen“. Das Kloster wurde später eine Niederlassung der Augustiner, als es im 12. Jahrhundert die Augustinusregel annahm. Derrynane war vermutlich eine Zelle des in dieser Region Irlands bedeutenden Priorats St. Michael Ballinskelligs, dessen Konvent von der Klosterinsel Skellig Michael auf das Festland übergesiedelt war. Diskutiert wurde in der Literatur auch, ob Derrynane eine Zelle des Klosters Molana war. Eine Abtei ist die „Derrynane Abbey“ in ihrer Geschichte niemals gewesen. Die Bezeichnung rührt lediglich vom örtlichen Volksmund her. Von der Klosteranlage selber sind nur drei Gebäude in Teilen erhalten, darunter die Klosterkirche mit den für irische Sakralbauten typischen drei Ostfenstern. Die Kapelle des direkt auf der gegenüberliegenden Küstenseite gelegenen Herrenhauses Derrynane House ist der mittelalterlichen Architektur der Klosterkirche nachempfunden.

Derrynane Abbey

Derrynane Abbey also known as Ahamore Abbey (Irish: Mainistir Achaidh Mhóir) is a ruined abbey in Derrynane in County Kerry, Ireland. It is located near the town of Caherdaniel and is very close to Derrynane House, the house of Daniel O'Connell. The abbey is on an island appropriately named Abbey Island. It is accessible from the mainland through a beach. It is believed to have been built in the 6th century. Structure The Abbey itself is in ruin. There are only 3 interconnecting buildings of the abbey left, all without a roof. The main church, like the other buildings, is overgrown and contains a number of graves, including those of Mary O'Connell (wife of Daniel O'Connell) and the nineteenth-century Gaelic poet, Tomás Rua Ó Súilleabháin. The three arched windows of the church are in good condition even though they are facing the sea. The other two buildings have little else of note but graves. In the graveyard surrounding the abbey, there is tomb made of white tile which has been chipped away in places. Gallery References

Tourmakeady College

Tourmakeady College (Irish: Coláiste Mhuire Tuar Mhic Éadaigh) is an Irish-speaking voluntary secondary school in Tourmakeady, County Mayo, Ireland. The school has approximately 200 students. The school was at the centre of the Gaelic literary revival. The Coláiste Chonnacht was founded in 1905 as a summer school by Conradh na Gaeilge. The principal was Micheál Breathnach, with Máire Ní Tuathail as his assistant. The school became known as Cliabhran Conradh na Gaeilge—the "cradle of the Gaelic League". Among the people who visited the school were Douglas Hyde (later to become the first President of Ireland), Patrick Pearse, Éamon de Valera, Kuno Meyer (the renowned German Gaelic scholar), Padraig Ó Domhnallain, and other Irish writers visited the school frequently. De Valera was later to marry Sinead Flanagan, who had been a teacher at the school. Coláiste Chonnacht continued as a summer school until the 1960s; it was then taken over by the Sisters of Mercy, who ran a successful boarding school for girls. The sisters left in 1990 owing to a drop in the number of vocations, and the school was handed over to a local committee.

Trabolgan Holiday Village

Trabolgan (Irish: Trá Bholgan, meaning 'strand of Bolgan') is a self catering holiday village on a 140-acre (0.57 km2) site which was a former country estate in the civil parish of Trabolgan, County Cork, Ireland. The holiday camp was registered on 1 May 1984 (1984-05-01) and officially opened on 29 June 1985 (1985-06-29). History Roche family Trabolgan House was the seat of the Roche dynasty from the middle of the seventeenth-century up until 1880, when the family was forced to sell the house and most of the Trabolgan Estate. The head of the Roche family was elevated to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Fermoy in 1856, when Edmond Burke Roche was created the 1st Baron Fermoy. Trabolgan House itself was largely rebuilt in the Georgian style circa 1780, with the house being significantly extended during the nineteenth-century. Pontin's Trabolgan Trabolgan was first opened as a holiday camp in 1948 by Pontin's, which built over 100 chalets, a dance hall and an outdoor swimming pool. The development was initially successful at attracting British holiday-makers. Scoil na nÓg Trabolgan was not successful in the longer term however, and it was converted into a boy's boarding school, Scoil na nÓg, operated by Gaedhealachas Teo from 1959 to 1973. Trabolgan Holiday Village In 1975, the Trabolgan estate was purchased by a Dutch Coal and Metal Industry Pension Fund and a small holiday development consisting of 30 houses, bar and clubhouse was opened in 1980, catering mainly for the continental market. The decision to extend the village to include a Main Centre and a wide range of facilities was taken in 1983, and building was completed in 1985; the village was officially opened on 29 June 1985 (1985-06-29) by Michael McNulty, the Director General of Bord Fáilte, and W.L. Van Leeuwen, the Director of Trabolgan Homes. The site changed hands several times, and was put up for sale in 2000 and purchased by Trevor Hemmings in 2002 to operate as Trabolgan Holiday Village.

Tralee Golf Club

Tralee Golf Club is an 18-hole links golf course, at Barrow, near Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland. Overview The records show that golf has been played in Tralee since 1896 in various locations such as Oakpark, Fenit, the site of the present day Austin Stack Park and most recently at a 9-hole parklands course at Mounthawk in Cahersalee all in the town of Tralee. In October 2009, Tralee Golf Club celebrated its 25th anniversary since its move from the town of Tralee to its present location on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean at West Barrow, Ardfert, County Kerry. The course was designed by Arnold Palmer. The course is a par 72 and measures almost 7,000 yards from the championship tees. History The Academy Award winning film Ryan's Daughter starring Robert Mitchum and Sarah Miles had its beach scenes filmed beside the first few holes. A tower stands behind the third green overlooking the harbour and this dates back to the 1190s. A Spanish Armada ship is reputed to have run aground west of the 17th. The beach behind the 16th green and off the right of the 17th hole was where many ships ran aground, including one vessel from the Spanish Armada in 1588. The nearby Banna Strand is celebrated in song as the landing point of Sir Roger Casement in 1916. References External links Tralee Golf Club
