I also thought this might be of some interest to the Noctor Family which comes from www.duchas.ie

The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0888, Page 072.

I remember one day I was working in the Public work. There was an old man named Charlie Noctor a pot lifter. One windy day we went up to Ask quarry to drink the dinner. When I was getting the water for tea, Charlie went to get some sticks for the fire. He came back with an armful of sticks and a hoop thirty inches in circumference. He used it for a "boley". After a time it broke and he found out it was a collar of gold belonging to Malachy the King. He brought it to Dublin and sold it for £150. If he knew what it was before it broke it would have been worth £2,000. I dreamt one night that a witch went into a farmer's house and she said that if he gave her dinner she would tell him where there was a collar of gold.
So what I dreamt was true.

Hello,

My family have long owned the lands on Tara Hill that once belonged to John and Jane Noctor. It’s a truly beautiful place, and I have many fond memories of camping there with my family from childhood well into my late twenties.

I’m currently trying to gather any historic photographs or information related to the laneway, house, piggery, or sheds that once stood on the property. I would be genuinely grateful for any help or memories of day to day life that others might be willing to share.

Many thanks in advance,

Michael
