ruins near quilty









These pictures were taken near Quilty, a tiny, coastal town. Every town we visited had an ancient, ruined church. It seems that once the roof caved in, the graveyard expanded to what had once been the inside of the church.

The castle was one of those I mentioned in an earlier post—it has become a fencepost for the corner of a pasture. You can see the farm gate in one of the pictures. Unlike most of the castles we saw, this one stands in a broad, flat, open field.

    I am Anne Moloney (Mugavin) whose great great granparents lived in the cottage you display in this site. Patrick Muggevin (MUgavin Mongavin Mungaven) married and lived here in 1833. I am a decendant, as the family mostly moved to Killarney Victoria Australia, the most Irish part of Australia.

      Hello Anne,
      What a pleasure to find your comment, and to learn about the cottage in Quilty! My husband and I fell in love with the west coast of Ireland when we visited in 2013. Finding your comment brought back memories of that wonderful trip. Thank you so much.
      Diane
