carrickshock memorial

Near Kilmoganny is the site of the Carrickshock Memorial which commemorates a bitter land war battle on Dec. 15th, 1831. The distinguished Irish artist, Sir John Lavery, died here in Rossenarra House, the later home of the American author, Richard Condon (The Manchurian Candidate, amongst others). A memorial by the noted modern Irish Sculptor, Seamus Murphy, can be seen in the graveyard.
