Although I am named Bard of NiaFer, I am still in my training. I study at The Bardic College where I learn the old verse forms and the histories of my people. Until the coming of Patrick and his priests, we had no written language. All of our lore and history was committed to memory. Poetry and song are but two aids to the memorization. I work at both, that I may carry on the Bardic Traditions.
Some of my poetic efforts have been honored with awards. These I display proudly at The Boinne, where I do most of my studying and practicing.

The Village of Slane had its beginnings in the mid-1700's, shortly after the Conyngham family took over the Lordship of the Manor. Most of the structures that date from the 18th century are of a similar design and construction. They were all built to the requirements of William Burton Conyngham. For this reason, Slane is refferred to as an "Estate Village". Come take a look at the architecture, and you will see what I mean.

The Village of Slane, County Meath, Ireland, is home to a number of ancient ruins, a relatively modern castle and one of the largest flour mills in Europe.
