- (continued from previous page)When beasts are sold at the fair they are generally marked with a "raddle". Other people mark them with tar or mud or cut a piece of the hair off their backs with a scissors.
In this district long ago there were two fairs which are not held now. One of these was in a place called "Stúich" in Tiermana East and the other was held near the graveyard in Kilmurray.
There was a noted fair in Kilmurray. It used hold for a week. There used be from eight to ten fairs there during the year.
