- There is a Finnian oven in our haggard. It is like the bottom of a lime kiln, lined inside with very big stones with little wee stones in between them. It is very wide & the stones appear to be black. It is about 4ft deep & 2 1/2 ft wide at the top. It gets narrow at the bottom.
Eilis Leacy (12) Ballyelland told by her father that it is a Finnian oven. In Stafford's field (Ballyelland) there is an old rath. The round is there still & remains of a ditch inside. A light is supposed to be seen there very often after midnight. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
