- (b) Ardglass:
There was a great storm in the year 1921 and the storm felled many trees, in the woods and it damaged almost every house in the district and felled one, which was near our house.
A great amount of snow fell in the year 1903 and many sheep afterwards were found dead under it. Also, a woman was found dead under it. It was said she was coming from town and lost her way and was suffocated with the snow. This snow remained on the ground for about five weeks and when it melted away many small animals and birds were found dead under it.
