As part of Heritage Week the Knights and Conquests General Manager Bartle D'Arcy and Education Officer Déirdre Orme arranged for the installation of a special piece of art at the Granard visitor centre. 

This gate made by Eamonn and Gabriel Creamer now marks the spot where the Doherty Blacksmiths Forge once stood and it is where Eamonn served his apprenticeship as a Smith. 

"This is a fantastic addition to our site here at Knights & Conquests and we are adding and improving our existing site on a regular basis prior to our pending big development," outlined Mr D'Arcy.
