Evoy's Forge is located near Old Ross off the N25 between New Ross and Wexford Town

| Inscription on the plaque: "This Forge was one of the principal Pike making forges for the United Irish Insurgents during the 1798 Rebellion. It was restored by Carrigbyrne '98 Committee as a memorial to all the blacksmiths who forged pikes in 1798. Cóiríodh an chéarta seo in ómós do ghaibhne Uilig 1798" |
Nice shots of Evoy's Forge, which I visited today (not for the first time). Failed to find Scullaboge, despite following a sign apast the forge, when two roadside men said it was back the way we had come. Gave up in the end. Am familiar with the great ballad - 'Ballyshannon Lane'.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your research and post about Evoy's forge! I am an Evoy and my uncle has done a lot of research of our family and came across this and shared it with us. I hope I'll have a chance to visit the forge some day. My daughter and her husband were there a few years ago and met the Evoys there.
ReplyDeleteI have two interior shots somewhere!!!
