    Paid hands and grown children help with the picking of the potatoes. The potatoes are mostly stored in pits.
    The types of potatoes are Arran Chief, Kerrs Pink, Presidents and Colleen.
    Potatoes were used as starch by the old people some years ago, but this Formula is now quite forgotton.

    History Edit

  2. Omen Stones

    Share Share Post
    There is a townsland between Ballycaddon and Lacken Dearg in the parish name Gollew. An old person said that there are Omenstones there. My father saw them. People went to them to wish for things and they expected to get them. If they did they would think that they got it through the stones.
