- The high wind of 1839.
There were no carts at this time. People around here made use of a vehicle called a "truck". It had one wheel in the centre. Something like the wheel of a box barrow. It took eight men to turn it on the road. It was on the road near the bridge in Errew the night of the big wind and was turned by the storm on the road.
A hay shed was carried from one side of the road to the other in Aughawithan. All the windows were blown out of a house in Drumheanlis.
