- There was a Whipping Camp in Bushfield (near Knockanargan) in '98.Thomas Head, Knockindarragh, got twenty lashes there, to tell what he knew of the pikes. The pikes were made in Knockindarragh, in a forge near where Graces now live. Grace was in hiding, because he had been accused of giving information. He had married a Miss Metcalfe, whose father was shot by rebels. Grace escaped.In Wicklow pikes were noted - there was a hatchet on each pike, also a crook to cut a rein.Many were whipped in the Bushfield camp, to give information.There were not many Protestants in Glen Imaal at this time.
