Long Woman's Grave Corrakit, Omeath, County Louth +353 42 9352111 info@dundalktouristoffice.ie VISIT WEBSITE Legend There once was a man named Conn O'Hanlon. On his deathbed he told his sons, Conn and Lorcan, that they could have all his land. Conn promised his father that he would take Lorcan to a height and tell him that as far as the eye could see was his. Conn did this but he tricked Lorcan and brought him to a hollow part of the mountain. Lorcan had a boat and used this to do trading with other countries. During a trip to Spain, Lorcan saved a Spanish lady and her daughter on their yacht. The Spanish woman held a banquet in honor of Lorcan. Cauthleen and Lorcan fell in love, but Cauthleens father wasn't happy because she was engaged to a nobleman. The couple met in secret and went back to Ireland. When they got to Omeath, Lorcan took Cauthleen to the mountain and showed her the land he owned. Cauthleen was so shocked that she fell and suffered a heart attack. Lorcan loved her so much that he jumped into Aennagh bog. The local people looked for the couple and found Cauthleen, they made a grave and each person put a stone on it. They didn’t find Lorcan dead or alive. Here she sleeps today, in the hollow of her disappointment and unfilled promises, known as the Long Woman's Grave, and this can still be seen in the mountains overlooking Omeath today.

St. Oliver Plunkett's Shrine, Ballybarrack, Dundalk Ballybarrack, Ardee Road, Dundalk, Co. Louth VISIT WEBSITE St. Oliver Plunkett lived at Ballybarrack on the outskirts of Dundalk for a substantial period of time in the 1670s and he ordained many priests in the area including Castletown and Dundalk. Ballybarrack church measures fifteen metres by five metres, but may well have been smaller than this as it is believed that St. Oliver's home was probably situated towards the front of the church alongside the road. At the time of its excavation in the early twentieth century, the top of a sixteenth century thurible was found with a Celtic motif, which is now in Maynooth College Museum. Perhaps someone fleeing from capture dropped it in haste. After being arrested in 1679, he spent some time in jail in Dundalk but was not found guilty of the charges against him at Dundalk. Subsequently Archbishop Oliver Plunkett was taken to London where he was found guilty as a result of trumped-up charges and he was martyred in Tyburn in 1681. St. Peter's Church in Drogheda is world-famous for the relics of Saint Oliver Plunkett, which are housed there in a special shrine on the altar. Ballybarrack and also Ardpatrick, located on a hill overlooking Louth village, have both been described as St. Oliver's pro-cathedrals. Without pillars or spires these tiny churches in rural areas had been overlooked and obviously considered of little value to those who had commandeered almost everything else. However, they were destined to serve St. Oliver's humble mission to his flock throughout the 1670's. He lived in both locations, ordained many priests in both small churches and held an important Ulster Church Synod at Ardpatrick in 1678. We know that his homes were not lofty palaces but simple, humble abodes and he wrote on one occasion that his home was a thatched abode with a low ceiling of only seven feet high. That did not confine him however in his hospitality to friends, strangers or visiting priests. In a rural area, safe from prying eyes, there must have been a lot of coming and going at these locations in north Co. Louth. How to find us Previous Item Next Item
