Inniskeen in Co Monaghan was made famous by its world famous poet son, Patrick Kavanagh.
Will Literary Work was based to a large extent on the site of the house, a farm that first came into the family’s possession on December 8, 1910, when his father James and his mother Bridget purchased 9ac, a road (¼ac) and 20 perches (¼ac). ⅛ac). ) in the townland of Drumnagrela.
The holding was bought at auction for a princely £180.
His poem extolling ‘the stony gray soil of Monaghan’ as the thief of his youth is not endeared to all Monaghan people.
However, it also, perhaps inadvertently, attests to the versatility of the land as being appropriate for the cow and the plow in the lines, ‘You told me the plow was immortal! O green-life-winning plough!’
Auctioneer Raymond Fee is handling the lease of 100 acres of land at the fabled Inniskeen and says the soil is a bit stony and brown, describing it as “Great in its heart”, with some soil indices I have type 4.
Pasture and plowed farmland are in three large divisions, most of which is in permanent pasture, with the most recent maize crop being produced.

The holding is less than 2km from the N53 Dundalk to Castleblayney road and will be offered as a whole or as three accessible lots.
These are made of a piece of 52ac, known in Knock as ‘The Paddocks’; a 27ac parcel is in Drumbotte and Treagh; and a 21ac lot in Carrickkelly known as ‘Nolan’.
Expecting strong interest, Mr Fee said: “A block of land of this size is rarely available in this area. Its location, accessibility, size and land quality make it a very attractive proposition.
“This is a great opportunity for farmers looking to expand their enterprise.”
The proposed lease term is for seven years and the price is expected to be in the region of €350/ac per year.
