Housekeeper, Butler, Cook, Lady's maid, two footmen, three housemaids, a kitchen and a scullery maid plus a chauffeur. All very Downton Abbey. Only 2.5 km from Dunsany Castle as the crow flies.

    Per wikipedia, the castle had a rough time after this date: The 12th Earl of Fingall (1896-1984), the last to hold the earldom, sold Killeen Castle and its remaining estate in 1951, to Sir Victor Sassoon... In 1953, the Earl and Countess moved to a modern house built on the lands, and most of the house contents were sold.... Sassoon died in 1961 and his heirs sold the estate on in 1963, to French art dealer and major racehorse owner, Daniel Wildenstein... In 1978, the castle and estate were sold to advertiser Basil Brindley, who continued the stud farm operation. On 16 May 1981, the castle was burnt out in an arson attack, being left abandoned for many years... In 1989, a new development plan was proposed ... including the conversion of the castle into a high-end hotel, the installation of a championship standard golf course... The 18-hole championship course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 2008

    "The Hill of Tara in Ireland began as a Pleiadian landing site ca 5000 BC. For the first time in history, the ET origin of the mysterious Hill of Tara, known as the heart center of Ireland, is revealed." - youtu.be/jBh9vX3bf-g I wonder what Mr Mason would have made of this ?!

    Meath Chronicle article. The site was blessed by Very Rev P Dillon PP, Kill (acting for the Bishop of Meath, Most Rev Dr J Kyne).
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Maps seem to thing the townland in Meath is called Rathmolyon, and Rathmoylan is in Waterford.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Surely RathmOILan ? Or is that too crude! 26 August 1962 was a Sunday ...
