“About the year 1855 there was a great snow storm.”
About the year 1855 there was a great snow storm. It covered a lot of houses. It is commonly called the Big Snow. About a couple of miles from the village of Kilbrittain there was a child born and it could not be christened for six weeks for the people could not travel in the snow. A lot of cattle and sheep died of starvation. On one occasion it happened that a man went out seeing after his cattle and he could not find them, and he found himself walking on he tops of the trees near Kilbrittain castle.- Collector
