Old O'Connor House at Curraghatoosane
On July 30 1019, we, Listowel people were allowed to visit the site of the old cottage unearthed during excavations for the new bypass.
The house was a thatched cottage of mud construction and it stood on this site until the 1950's. We know from the census that 6 adult people lived there in 1911.
There was great interest among local people to see and hear how people lived in the 1800's
Shards of pottery were uncovered, probably plates and bowls.
The archeologist told us that this design is Scottish.
Paddy Keane remembered that olive oil came in phials like these.
This is what remains of an Infant of Prague statue.
