Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Ballynahatty Gaol. Two ground floor corner walls remain of this structure, which had to be part demolished in 2007 due to it becoming unsafe. This was built on the Huston Estate and was a result of the frequent drinking bouts associated with the fairs held on the townland and people got out of hand after indulging in poteen, a home brewed liquor derived from potatoes and made in illicit stills. A sizeable contingent of constables had to be called in and drunkards were locked up until they sobered. Several did not make it as the strength of the brew varied. It is said that you could either survive, go blind or die. Originally the building was two stories high and had stone walls and a slated roof. |
