Drogheda Church
Told there wad an entombed head of some guy, we knew we had to go see it. It is the head of Saint Oliver Plunkett.
By far the creepiest thug EVER seen in a church. After leaving Ashlee said I swear Catholics have zombie issues! They always have some entombed person inside their church. I just laughed...and agreed!
Enjoy the church it is beautiful...and creepy!
Ghost of Athcarne Castle
Athcarne Castle is a ruined Elizabethan castle outside the town of Duleek in County Meath, Ireland
Of many legends about the Castle, which is said to be haunted, the most plausible is that King James II slept here on his way to the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, the Castle being only six miles from the battlefield. In fact, James II actually owned Athcarne at the time and the Bathe family were simply renting it from him on a long lease .The name Athcarne is thought to be derived from either Ath Cairn meaning the Bridge, or Fording Point at the Cairn, or burial mound, or alternatively from Ard Cairn, meaning High Cairn. There is a burial mound to the south east of the castle, across the Hurley river. Beryl Moore, the historian, wrote that the castle may actually be built on top of a cairn. These cairns were built around 4,000 years ago. In 861, the Vikings raided Newgrange and Moore wrote that the Cairn/s at Athcarne were also raided at that time.
Duleek takes its name from the Irish word daimh liag, meaning house of stones and referring to an early stone-built church, St Cianan’s Church, the ruins of which are still visible in Duleek today. The Duleek Heritage Trail has been conceived as a series of stepping stones through the village and its long and varied history.Duleek began as an early Christian monastic settlement. St Patrick established a bishopric here about 450 AD, which he placed in the care of St Cianan on 24 November 489. The place was sacked several times by the Norsemen between 830 and 1149 and was also pillaged by the Normans in 1171. In April 1014 the bodies of Brian Ború and his son lay in state in Duleek on their way to Armagh. The original monastery settlement is reputed to be the place where St. Patrick and several contemporaries spent the winter period while compiling the Seanchas Mór - the first written compiled form of the ancient Brehon Laws of Ireland in the fifth century. The 12th century saw the reconstitution of the original monastery as St Mary's Abbey.--The first Anglo-Norman Lord of Meath, Hugh de Lacy, established a manor and constructed a motte castle at Duleek. About 1180 he granted St Cianan's Church, together with certain lands, to the Augustinians. The churchyard of the now disused Church of Ireland church occupies part of the site of the early monastery.On the opposite side of the village in the town land of Abbeyland close to the river Nanny and Duleek house there are ruins of the Grange of St.Michael.This grange was established in about 1172 by Augustinian monks from Llanthony in Monmouthshire; the lands were granted to them by the De Lacy family. The village’s four crosses and the lime tree on the village green are reminders of Duleek’s links to the struggle between William and James and to wider European unrest at the time of Louis XIV of France. One of the crosses, the Wayward Cross, was however erected in 1601 by Janet Dowdall in memory of her husband, Sir William Bathe of Athcarne Castle outside the village.

CONG ABBEY - Cong South, Co. Mayo, Ireland
The monastery of Cong, founded in the early 7th century, was destroyed by fire in the early 12th century. Turlough O’Conor, the High-King of Ireland, refounded the abbey around 1135 AD, and his son Rory constructed new buildings. The community adopted the Augustinian rule several years later. Soon after, in 1203 AD, the attacked the town, and again the monastery had to be rebuilt. Very little remains of the abbey.
The present church, and possibly also the fragmentary cloister, where the monks once worked and prayed, belong to the rebuilding of the early 13th century. The north doorway of the church, and the elaborate doorways that open onto the cloister from the east range of the monastery, might pre-date the destruction by William de Burgo. The doorway with two fine windows on either side of it belongs to the chapter house, where the monastery’s business was conducted and a chapter of the rule read every day. This was also where the community gathered to confess their sins publicly. The sculpture in the abbey, which suggests links with western France, is some of the finest in Ireland.
The monastery kitchen had a bell with a line that went all the way to the Fishing House. When the monks caught fish they would pull on the line to ring the bell so the cook would know that fresh fish would be available.
