The Egg Shed Ambush
The shed has become notorious in popular folk memory as the site of the ‘Egg Shed Ambush’. Mid April 1921, during the War of Independence, two RIC constables returning to their barracks after patrolling the nearby railway station were attacked and wounded.
The Egg Shed was used to sort & store eggs from the area for collection by egg buyers.
