Once there was a man who used to ramble to Clonkeen. One night as he was coming home he heard noise behind him. He looked round to see what it was. What was it but a pig roaring behind him. (He looked around to see what it was) He ran as hard as he was able but the pig kept up to him. He passed an ash tree. He looked round again but the pig was after him still. Then the pig let an awful roar and the man looked behind again. He saw a big ball of fire in the ash tree. He came home and lit a candle and the moment he saw the light he fell in a dead faint on the floor. The ball of fire is often seen still in that ash tree.

Friday mystery object #311

Dwelling in the stygian gloom of a flooded mine, we call it the Clonteen snot, but what is it?

This week I have a real mystery object for you, which came in as an enquiry from the bottom of a mine in Ireland that was flooded to the roof with freshwater. It’s earned itself the delightful name of the ‘Clonkeen snot’ thanks to its appearance and texture:

If you click on the image, it will open a large version so you can have a really good look at the fascinating gunk that was fished from the…

Christ Church Cathedral

In the fourteenth-century Dublin was a small walled city with perhaps 10,000 inhabitants. At this time Grangegorman functioned as one of three home farms, the others being Glasnevin, and Clonken or Clonkene (now known as Deansgrange), which served to meet the expenditure of the Prior of the Augustininan Priory at The Church of the Holy Trinity. The Canons of this priory served The Church of the Holy Trinity, which was the State Church until the dissolution of the monasteries in the sixteenth-century when it was re-established as Christ Church Cathedral.
