  1. The Ruins at Stahalmog

    Share Share Post
    At Stahalmog in the parish of Kilbeg, about eight miles from Navan, there are the ruins of an old residence now in the possession of a Miss McCormick. These ruins were used as a hospital during the Cholera. The disease took such a toll of life that a small farmer made a small fortune by taking the dead bodies of the unfortunate people in his cart for burial, using a coffin with a hinged bottom.
