It was a room in the tower, hidden for a long time, round in shape and about three meters in diameter.
During the restoration and conservation of Jonestown Castle, a historic building in Wexford, Ireland, a carpenter repairing a window accidentally knocks down a wall and reveals a hidden mystery room. The Ancient Sources write about it.
The castle is more than 850 years old. Its foundation was laid during the Norman era in Ireland. This large estate of 961 hectares was successively owned by several noble families until it became the property of the Irish state in 1946.
“Discovering hidden treasures within heritage sites is rare and this is the second time at Jonestown Castle since we discovered a secret room under a lakeside tower last year. The previously discovered secret room was in a separate tower adjacent to the main castle”, and it can only be reached by boat. Instead, the newly discovered underground space is located in one of the castle’s towers, marking the first discovery of an internal hidden chamber in the castle itself,” the archaeologists said.
The chamber itself, hidden in the tower for so long, is circular in shape and about three meters in diameter. In all likelihood, it served as a bedroom for a servant.
“This room has remained hidden for a long time. In all probability, this room may have been damaged due to a previous misfortune. Further investigation is mandatory,” the scientists added.
Remember that earlier in the Ternopil region found a treasure at the age of four thousand years.
