    There is a wee trace of the house to be seen yet but if you didn't know where it was it would not be easy to find it. There are only a few steps and a few stones upon one another. O'Donovan Rossa was one of the Fenians. He was tried in Cork. He died later in America, and his remains were brought to Ireland to be buried.
