To be buried upside down may be an unusual request, but Samuel Grubb (1750-1815), Quaker and owner of the beautiful Castle Grace in County Tipperary insisted on being buried upright so that come judgement day he’d be ready to go! Overlookin the Road across Vee gap, Samuel Grubb's cairn appears in "Irish Follies and Whimsical Architecture" by George Munday and published by O'Brien Press in Dublin.
