  1. The Spire of Tinnamuck

    Share Share Post
    Tinnamuck is situated some miles from Moate. There is a Spire situated in it and the people of that district believe that there was a battle field situated here also. It is said that Cromwell made use of it in time of war. It was built by a gentleman named Holmes.
    There is a bog near that place and the local inhabitants believe that it was in that bog that the English soldiers were buried alive.
    About five years ago a sword was found on this was the stamp of a bugle and thistle. In a house near the place where a battle field was there was recently found in a hollow place in the wall a heap of bones and the barrel of an old Fenian gun.
    There is a road near the bog called the "Green Road". At any time of the year the grass is very green.
