    "... From researching, I discovered Samson's Stone got its name from a story about Samson who pulled down a temple in Gaza. He did so with such force that a piece of the stone from the temple flew over the Mediterranean Sea and descended on a small hill outside Downpatrick. ..."

    William Alfred Green (1870–1958)

    The 1830s 6" at geohive markes Down Fort nearby, but not Samson's Stone. The PRONI historical mapper has both from the 2nd edition on (1846-62) spelled Sampson's Stone.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The nearby reservoir (from the 3rd edition of 1900 on) seems to be named Sampson's Stone Service Reservoir.

    Gentleman with the boater has a motorcycle, EI-15, a Sligo reg, so certainly after registrations introduced in 1903. In the 1914-15 directory at lennonwylie dot co dot uk, it is registered to a Wm Ferguson, Manor Street, Belfast.

    ACCIDENT AT KING JOHN'S CASTLE CARLINGFORD.—On Monday evening a venturesome young sailor, from a vessel at present lying in Carlingford Harbour, was clambering through the picturesque ruins of King John's Castle when he missed his footing. and fell from a height of twenty feet. Fortunately, he escaped with his life, but his right arm was fractured, and he sustained other injuries.

    “Carlingford Castle's west wing was built in the late 12th century by Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath shortly after the Norman invasion of Ireland. It acquired the name "King John's Castle" after King John, Lord of Ireland, supposedly stayed there for three days in 1210, during his second expedition, when he invaded Ulster to apprehend Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_John%27s_Castle_(Carlingford)
