    I could not find any beliefs connected
    with the forge-water or the sparks that
    fly from the hot iron.
    Denis Gearon of Bluefort was able to set
    dislocated bones by charms with a briar.
    This was done by taking off his hat,
    and he gave a splitted briar to the person
    he was setting the bone for. This briar
    closed in spite of the man while Denis
    Gearon prayed and by this time the bone
    was sat.
    Some smiths were able to cure pharsey by
    the skin of a black cat.
    The smiths were very strong.
    I could not find and stories connected
    with the local forges.
    The people of the townland gathered
    to the forge by night where events were
    discussed.
