    Outside the town of Drumshambo in the townland of Bunrevagh there lived a man named Peter Moran. He used to turn out this class of work. He lived to the age of eighty six years old and he used to make baskets for the surrounding districts.
    He also made creels for drawing turf from the bogs, and also for putting out manure for potato fields where carts could not be used in mountainous districts. The flax baskets were used for many purposed such as for draining potatoes.
