| dc.description | Hellfire Club 1.1; Hellfire Club 1.1.26: In 1725 William 'Speaker' Connolly rebuilt a Neolithic passage tomb on Montpelier Hill as a hunting lodge using both a ready supply of stone on a hill not covered in bogland, and herds of red deer brought there originally by Normans. It later, after its sale on the death of Connolly in 1729, became a place for the meeting of the young men of the Hellfire Club. Stories of depravity and satanic rituals are associated with the place. The only death that can be securely associated with the place is that of Thomas Cobbe, son of the Archbishop of Dublin, who died there in 1751 after a duel. It was damaged by fire mid century and when another lodge was built downhill and further to the north, it was stripped of architectural stone work. It suffered from damage in the 1851 during the visit of Queen Victoria when burning barrels of tar were placed on the roof. | en_IE |
