Charles Topham Bowden embarked on a tour through Ireland in 1791 and like so many of his contemporaries he visited the county of Kilkenny. One small paragraph is devoted to a stop he made while travelling from Carlow to Gowran and on to Kilkenny. The passage reads[1]:
A gibbet was a gallow that an executed criminal was displayed from to deter further criminal activity. You can read more on caves in Kellymount and the Kellymount gang.
