    Loughcrew has many neolithic passage cairns too doesn't it? No idea of that area so no idea where that estate is in connection to that place, but remember seeing photo's of the cairns in the area and a sculpted stone chair called 'The Hag's Chair'. Must go down there for a look

    Went to it in the summer there and was staying in the campsite right beside it. The views are really nice and the walk up to it. The woman from the Heritage Centre arrived just as we were about to leave so we were lucky enough to get to go inside!

    She said that a local teacher discovered it when walking his dog. She also mentioned that she's had a few groups visit to perform Pagan rituals.

    It looks like we have a dummy folks. And I am a dummy for believing in it all. I want those guy's hung and quartered.

    Individual people have different thoughts and understanding in regard to others opinions, but the problem is this... there are some people out there that will do everything in their power to cut you off when they do not like your opinion even when it is truth.

    The current church dates from the 16th century and was built by the Plunketts. This is too late for the plague. However there was supposed to be a church at Loughcrew dating back to the 14th century which would tie in.
    The whole area around the church was overgrown until fairly recently when the gardens and activity centre was developed

    There was plague here in 1650.

    They're buried just outside Allihies, Beara, Cork.

    I do like the fact that one of the diggers said it was "mental". I thought that word fell out of popularity before the plague doctors walked the roads...
