en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tynan_Abbey#Destruction_of_Tynan_Abbey Tynan Abbey in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, was a large neo-gothic-romantic country house built c. 1750 (later renovated c. 1815) and situated outside the village of Tynan. It was home to the Stronge family until 1981, when it was bombed; its ruins were demolished in 1998, having stood for 249 years.

I was wrong; the balls happened later than this! See this stereo pair and a similar one featuring a gent with a strange beard (he might be the topiarist!) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000560754 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000336780 Ed. The 'gent' image was made into a postcard "c. 1905" - www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1905-tynan-abbey-now-destr...

Streetview 25" OSI Interesting that the tower has survived, but the house appears to be completely gone now.

Probably no surprise as this was taken over 100 years ago and the derelict house would not have improved with time and weather?

I presume that as with every big house ruin in Ireland before the '20s, they forgot to put the fire guard up one evening.

On www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4922195/4859808/4939429 the Duchas website is the following information apparently gathered by children attending the Christian Brothers school. "Knocka Castle is about 2 miles from Templemore. There is a supposed Sacred Room in Knocka Castle, one of the most ancient buildings in the parish of Templemore. There was a large quantity of Irish treasures and ancient Irish books which were stolen by Cromwell, a suit of arms was also found and a picture of Cromwell and a frame of gold were found and sent to the British Museum. There is a secret passage from Knocka Castle to Barnane Castle where our priest often hid when they were persecuted for their religion." How many secret passages can there be in the one island????
