- The farmers around this district used to sen their cattle to the hills to be grazed during the summer. That custom is stopped now. At present the farmers send away ewes and lambs. The district to which they are sent is called Lough Barra and Cumoine. One place is really a continuation of the other. This district lies about twelve miles from here. 1/6 a head for sheep is paid.
