Handcrafted plasterwork Grianan of Aileach with St Patrick’s Well on the Hill. Dimensions approx 5″ length, 3″ high. 3 dimensional piece, able to be displayed in 360 degrees! More a representation than my usual replication approach to heritage, I thought this fun little piece would make a delightful talking point on any table, or even a beautiful bookstop. This piece is based on the stunning Grianan of Aileach and the hilltop on which it sits overlooking Inch Island and the Inishowen Peninsula, with its winding ascending road, and not forgetting Saint Patrick’s Well on the hillside, site of many a wish and prayer down through the centuries. Legend has it that Saint Patrick himself blessed this well! It would be a fair bet that this is likely the smallest Grianan anywhere, complete with stairways, levels and even the tunnels visible in the interior! I loved creating this piece and I hope that you’ll love having it your home.

Handcrafted, highly detailed plasterwork An Grianan of Aileach. Looks, feels and weighs like genuine stone! Handcrafted plasterwork An Grianan sculpture, measuring approx. 8″ across, 3.5″ high. weight: 1.4kg The origins of the Grianán of Aileach fort are dated back to 1700 BC. It is linked to the Tuatha de Danann who invaded Ireland before the Celts and built stone forts on top of strategic hills. They worshipped Dagda (the Good God) and he too is associated with the origins of Aileach. It was he who ordered the building of a stone fort to act as a burial monument to his dead son. The round fort is built largely without mortar. The interior has three terraces and wooden structures were built against the terraces to provide accommodation. The outline of Bronze Age or Iron Age ramparts can be seen below the fort. Legend states that the giants of Inishowen are lying sleeping but when the sacred sword is removed they will spring to life reclaiming their ancient lands. It is thought that St Patrick visited the site in the 5th century and baptised the local chieftain, Eoghan (from whom Inis Eoghan gets its name), here.

Westbank Loyalists Mural 1980, Fountain Estate Derry. Dimensions: 12cm high, 12cm wide, 4 cm deep. This iconic mural, found in the cityside Fountain Estate in Londonderry, has been relocated and repainted several times since its first appearance in the early 1980s. The original artist is unknown, but the message contained in the composition remains a strongly held ethos in the community to the present day. The origin of the message can be traced to the ‘exodus’ of up to 10,000 cityside Protestants who moved to the Waterside area and beyond, representing approximately 90% of the Protestant population in the Westbank relocating due to fear and intimidation between the volatile years of 1969 and 1974. The Fountain stands alone as the sole Protestant estate on the Westbank, and often suffered sectarian attacks throughout the years, even having to be gated at night for security during the tumultuous 1980s. This sense of isolation remains strong in the community, and has materialized as a defiant, proud identity evident on every street in the estate. The ‘No Surrender’ slogan originates from 1688, when 13 Apprentice Boys shut the city gates on 1200 Jacobite soldiers, thus setting in motion the beginnings of the famous Siege of Derry which would last 105 days. This representation is of the mural during its location on a garage wall in Wapping Lane during the 1980s, it is presently painted on the rear of a house and visible from many aspects from the overlooking City Walls. It has since become a widely recognized symbol of Loyalist defiance and pride. See less
