About 8 kms from where I grew up in Ballingate in Co Wicklow is the village of Clonegal which lies on the Carlow/Wexford border. I went there yesterday with my Dad Joe for a pint in the excellent Osbournes pub, but finding it closed we had a look around instead. Dad told me there was a plaque on the bridge so I want to take a photo for the Open Plaques website. I never knew that Clonegal had so much items of interest, so with Dad as my tour guide I snapped a few more photos to record our time there.

Rebels in 1798 were hanged in the yard behind this gate. |
This 1798 monument is on the Slí na Sláinte commemorating Mylie Doyle who is buried nearby. |
