  1. The Red House

    The Red House
    In sixteen forty two the Catholics of Clogherhead were massacred.
    The red house is a cave underneath the head it is so called because of the slaughter of a great number of people some say clergy who attempted to conceal themselves in the time of Cromwell, but were betrayed by the barking of a little dog when he saw a vessel approaching the dry land. Outside the Red House in a pool there are two stones which turn every seven years.
