  2. Father Sheehy

    Share Share Post
    A priest named Fr Sheehy who lived near this place was hanged. His head was put on a spear outside the barracks in Clonmel. His sister walked up and down the street watching patiently until she got it down off of the spear at night and she took it away in her apron. A man called Maude who lived in Dundrum said it would make a beautiful crow's nest and it was noticed that the crows never built their nests in Dundrum until the nuns took it and made a convent of it. They built in the place ever since.
