This tune was composed for Eleanor Plunkett, said to be the last surviving member of her family. The family lived at Robertstown in Kilbeg parish in county Meath. It is said that Eleanor's family were killed by having boiling water poured on them during the disturbances of 1641, but this has never been verified.
