    “At the burning of Churchtown in 1822 there were three "White Boys" killed in the fight.”

    Share Share Post
    At the burning of Churchtown in 1822 there were three "White Boys" killed in the fight. They were buried in a rick of turf in Carrigeen Bog.
    There were two "White Boys" caught in England some time after. They were betrayed by one of their comrades who turned Informer. They were brought back and hanged off Egmount Rock. One of the fields there is still known as the "Gallows Field".
