“Why is this place here above called Clais a Naylor?”
Naylor come ove(r) with Cromwell. He was a miller by trade. When the wars were over he settled down here and started a mill. By the same token, it was only last (year?) Geo. Butler (present owner) knocked down the walls and the mill and the kiln.
[ Verified & substantiated by "Taxation of Hearth in Co Tipp" (Laffan) and by M.S. in Nat Library [No M.S 95.L.O]. Naylor was the only man in this
district who had more than one 2/6 to pay for "hearths".
No it wasn't working when I was young, but Dwyer's Mill at Cahernahallia (Ceathrú na h-Aille(1) ) was. Twas there we used to get our handfull of
wheat ground.
Sarsfield passed by Toem along the old road down by Ayle" "[Distinctly shown on the Down Survey]" He changed his horses
shoes - turned them back-wards - on Keeper. When he got to Cnocán na bhFear he camped
for a day and night. He got all his horses shod by Seán Gabha in the place we calls iarta na
ceárdchan. "Wha does that mean" says I.
