The Site:

The site, on the line of the old Irvinestown road with the backdrop of the old Abbey ruins, was chosen because of the local history,eg, The Eye Well where, ( in Canon McKenna’s book ), a man brought his blind horse to be cured with dire consequences Other reasons are : This was and still is a farming community and a forge was sited nearby. Someone locally may have a photograph of the old forge nestling under the rock face.
