Eggs, fowl, skins of animals, young goats were bought at this market. Goods were bought in the local shops.Four-penny pieces and double florins and crowns were common in olden-times. Farthings were also in use.Jimmy Coyle was the name of the last pedlar who visited this district. He bought feathers, rags and horse-hair.
