The
old Moore homestead, 27 acres of rolling hills.
Hacketstown, County Carlow Ireland
The church at
Knockananna where the Moores attended
services, and marriages, baptisms and
burials took place.
What remains of
the old Moore farmhouse, dating back
about 200 years. It has now been
converted to a farm storage building.

construction techniques, as well as how
the original structure was configured.
Some of the original rooms are no longer
standing.
A plot of land
down the road, where more simple
structures once stood. Beneath the
greenery you can barely see the remnants
of what used to be some small thatched
roof cottages, with parts of the stone
walls remaining. There may have been 3
homes on this site at one time.
