    the famine and his residence was in Castlegrace, near Clogheen. He died and was brought to his burial place on a horse and dray, and his grave is on the highest peak of the Knockmealdown mountains. His tombstone can be seen from Clogheen on a very sunny day. He asked to be buried with his dog and gun in a height from which he could see his residence and that is the reason why he is buried up there.
