Killehenny Ancient Parish is today located south of the seaside town of Ballybunion North Kerry its history and culture in the area stems back to the dawn of time to 7000-4000BC. Pre Christian Settlements, Viking Raids, and Ancient Shore Dwellers along with legends and more are covered in this but a first in the series of podcasts under the title Ancient Parish. Wild Atlanticway Champion and podcaster Danny Houlihan travels back through the pages of its history and plots a unique course of discovery into this ancient Parish this is only part one. Thousands of people around the World claim ancestry to area are of modern Ballybunion today but way back in time the name of the place they left from was called Killehenny or Cill Eithne. During the Great Irish Holocaust or Famine in 1845 - 1846 and Black 1847 thousands died and many more had to leave the area along the Cashen Estuary this episode will be of interest and debate for those who's people were from this area and shine a light of a place long forgotten.
