    1. [NIR-DOWN] Interesting find at Craigacreery 1898

    3. News from Ulster Irish World NY April 16 1898 DOWN An interesting find was recently made in a garden of William and John Hunter's premises, at Craigacreery Board Mills. A girl, LIZZIE PETTICREW, was digging at the foot of a tree when she unearthed a jug containing 109 rifle bullets each weighing fully 1 1/2 ounces. From their appearance and from the locality in which they were found, there is no doubt that they were intended for duty in the historic period of '98. I think this is near Ballynahinch. I couldn't find it in Ros's site and I can't find seanruad Townland database. Is it gone forever? What a terrible shame if it is.
