  1. St Laurence's Manor

    Share Share Post
    To the east of Palmerstown Village there is house "St Laurence's Manor" which was once occupied by the Yoemen. In this house there was a padded cell in which was a secret door. There were gallows there which were used for executing people during the '98 rebellion. Under the gallows was a pit where the bodies of those who were executed, were burned with quicklime.
    These were only destroyed about years ago.
