Fear Bréige
“Fear bréige - the old-time sun dial for the people who lived in the mid-valley (Glen of Aherlow) it stands out like a real fear bréige on the mountain-sky line above Lough Muskerry.”
Fear Bréige - the old-time sun dial for the people who lived in the mid-valley (Glen of Aherlow). It stands out like a real Fear Bréige on the mountain sky line above Lough Muskery. When the sun is seen from the valley to be directly overhead it, it is 12 o clock noon. (Many a child weary from haymaking and longing for the dinner hour was told to look up and notice that the sun hadn't yet come overhead "fear bréige").- Gleann na Muice Duibhe - a deep valley to the east of Sliabh muice.(Ballough, Bansha Co Tipperary)
NB*
From pages 47 to 61 the folk lore is mostly concerned with the people of the Glen of Aherlow.(Unless otherwise stated) Related byMrs Margaret Grogan (76)
