St Lachtain’s Old Graveyard Memorial Survey Page 5 This book is dedicated to the memory of all those buried in this graveyard St Lachtain’s Old Graveyard Memorial Survey Page 6 The names which appear largest in this illustration are those most commonly found in St Lachtain’s Old Graveyard. St Lachtain’s Old Graveyard Memorial Survey Page 7 St Lachtain’s Old Graveyard Memorial Survey Page 8 Foreword The Church of St. Lachtain is a place of great antiquity. It is renowned for its Romanesque doorway, its architecture and the continuity of worship since its foundation in the 7th century. Its adjacent graveyard, with its attendant memorials and headstones, is of significant social, cultural and archaeological interest. Historic graveyards link people to places. The headstone inscriptions give us a fascinating insight into the people who lived and died there, the craftsmen who carved the memorials, and life in the area. The St. Lachtain’s Church Conservation Plan (2004) commissioned by the Heritage Council identifies the insufficient knowledge and lack of interpretation of St. Lachtain’s and the need to put in place measures to address this. This graveyard recording project does just that. The project is the result of a huge voluntary community effort. This publication, an invaluable genealogical resource for future generations, is a testament to the hard work and enthusiasm of the Freshford Graveyard Recording Group. It has been a pleasure to work with and support the group. I hope that this publication and the accompanying on-line resources are read, referenced and enjoyed by people in Freshford, in County Kilkenny, and beyond for many years to come.

Kilkenny By Ned Kennedy In a rare display of humour, Ossory historian Canon Carrigan referred to Freshford Old Graveyard as "thickly tenanted". Unfortunately, residency for these tenants was of a more permanent nature than the usual contract. He referred only to four monuments, so the people of Freshford are indebted to the volunteers who conducted the recent survey of the graveyard with the help of Kilkenny County Council Heritage Section and the Historic Graves Project. Freshford is situated on the banks of the Nuenna river which flows through the heart of the village. The river name is the Anglicised spelling of An Uaithne which means Green River. The moss growing on the riverbed still bestows a pleasant green hue to the flowing water as it did when inspiring its name, perhaps fifteen hundred years ago. Around 400 A.D. the first settlers came from Munster in search of new lands. At the time north Kilkenny was known as Mágh Airgid Rois, the Plain of the Silver Birch. The invaders came from Muskerry in West Cork led by Cucraí, son of Duach. Having come so far into Ossory, they stopped on the banks of An Uaithne and broke new or fresh ground amongst the Silver Birches, which was called simply, but meaningfully, Achadh Úr or Freshfield. Unfortunately the descendants of our Norman conquerors later mistranslated this as Freshford because the Irish word Achadh, meaning field, sounded like the Irish word Áth, meaning ford. Thus we got our present day place name. Evidence of the original settlement location was presented by the modern day phenomenon of an aerial photograph taken by the Ordnance Survey. When experts viewed the photograph they saw that the last remaining sections of the inner and outer enclosures of the early Christian settlement were still clearly visible near the church site. When the photograph was studied, an imaginary line was drawn from the section of ditch, still visible to the experts, in an arc from Prince's Bridge to Old Bridge Street to show us the dimensions of the settlement around the church grounds. The existence of both inner and outer enclosures is regarded as evidence of a high-prestige site. The chief buildings and sacred or St Lachtain’s Old Graveyard Memorial Survey Page 11 ritual features were located within the inner enclosure while the more mundane activities were contained within the outer enclosure. By now most of the inner enclosure, has been replaced by block walls but the remnant of the outer enclosure is today the northern boundary of the local national school separating the Scoil Lachtaín site from the houses on Kilkenny Street. The presence here of the plant "Alexander", which is associated with medieval sites, means that Freshford may be one of the few "living relics" of an early monastic site. The invaders, in need of more land, continued their conquest eastwards through north Kilkenny. Leaving Achadh Úr, they cheekily called the next townsland Bánta na Maoinigh, the Fields or Plains of the Munstermen. They continued their conquest eastwards and renamed the territory, known today as Three Castles, between Achadh Úr and and Cill Chainnigh, as Bán Ua nDuach, the Plain of Duach, in honour of their patriarch in Cork. Miraculously it has retained its grand old Irish name to this day. St Lachtain’s Old Graveyard Memorial Survey Page 12 A large settlement grew in Achadh Úr coinciding with the spread of Christianity in Ireland. Our patron saint Lachtain arrived late in the 6th century. He was born around the year 550 in west Cork, son of Toirbín and Senecha. He studied at Bangor in Co. Down under St. Comhghall. After ordination he came to preach God's word amongst his kinsmen or cousins in Ossory. He founded a church here which acquired importance because Lachtain is referred to as Bishop in some annals and

  • The Castlecomer Plateau
    23 The Castlecomer plateau By T. P. Lyng, N.T. HE Castlecomer Plateau is the tableland that is the watershed between the rivers Nore and Barrow. Owing T to the erosion of carboniferous deposits by the Nore and Barrow the Castlecomer highland coincides with the Castle­ comer or Leinster Coalfield. Down through the ages this highland has been variously known as Gower Laighean (Gabhair Laighean), Slieve Margy (Sliabh mBairrche), Slieve Comer (Sliabh Crumair). Most of it was included within the ancient cantred of Odogh (Ui Duach) later called Ui Broanain. The Normans attempted to convert this cantred into a barony called Bargy from the old tribal name Ui Bairrche. It was, however, difficult territory and the Barony of Bargy never became a reality. The English labelled it the Barony of Odogh but this highland territory continued to be march lands. Such lands were officially termed “ Fasach ” at the close of the 15th century and so the greater part of the Castle­ comer Plateau became known as the Barony of Fassadinan i.e. Fasach Deighnin, which is translated the “ wi lderness of the river Dinan ” but which officially meant “ the march land of the Dinan.” This no-man’s land that surrounds and hedges in the basin of the Dinan has always been a boundary land. To-day it is the boundary land between counties Kil­ kenny, Carlow and Laois and between the dioceses of Ossory, Kildare and Leighlin. The Plateau is divided in half by the Dinan-Deen river which flows South-West from Wolfhill to Ardaloo. The rim of the Plateau is a chain of hills averag­ ing 1,000 ft.

  • The War of Independence in County Kilkenny: Conflict, Politics and People
    The War of Independence in County Kilkenny: Conflict, Politics and People Eoin Swithin Walsh B.A. University College Dublin College of Arts and Celtic Studies This dissertation is submitted in part fulfilment of the Master of Arts in History July 2015 Head of School: Dr Tadhg Ó hAnnracháin Supervisor of Research: Professor Diarmaid Ferriter P a g e | 2 Abstract The array of publications relating to the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921) has, generally speaking, neglected the contributions of less active counties. As a consequence, the histories of these counties regarding this important period have sometimes been forgotten. With the recent introduction of new source material, it is now an opportune time to explore the contributions of the less active counties, to present a more layered view of this important period of Irish history. County Kilkenny is one such example of these overlooked counties, a circumstance this dissertation seeks to rectify. To gain a sense of the contemporary perspective, the first two decades of the twentieth century in Kilkenny will be investigated. Significant events that occurred in the county during the period, including the Royal Visit of 1904 and the 1917 Kilkenny City By-Election, will be examined. Kilkenny’s IRA Military campaign during the War of Independence will be inspected in detail, highlighting the major confrontations with Crown Forces, while also appraising the corresponding successes and failures throughout the county. The Kilkenny Republican efforts to instigate a ‘counter-state’ to subvert British Government authority will be analysed. In the political sphere, this will focus on the role of Local Government, while the administration of the Republican Courts and the Republican Police Force will also be examined.

National Heritage Week is co-ordinated by the Heritage Council, in conjunction with the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, and is part of European Heritage Days. 2014 is the 20th Anniversary of the United Nations ‘International Year of the Family’ and to tie in with this, the theme for National Heritage Week 2014 is ‘Family...generations exploring heritage together’. A new initiative this year is the launch of the European Heritage Days portal which maps thousands of heritage events in 50 countries, including Ireland, across Europe.
