  1. Flax was once grown in this district, and old people remember seeing it cultivated; they have also a clear recollection of the implements used in the after treatment of the crop such as the seutcher (?), the cloving tongs etc. Sheaves of flax left to rot in the local bogholes are frequently met with by people when cutting turf.
