    In the summer time the smith does some of the work in the open air. He is a great strong man with large and sinewy arms.
    The forge is also a meeting place for the people of the locality, and a favourite game is throwing the sledge, and lifting the fifty-six llbs weight.
    The names of the smiths' are Mr. Con Donoghue, Cronera, Bawnboy, Co. Cavan, Mr. Bernard Hastings, Dernacrieve, Swanlinbar, Co. Cavan and Mr. James Byrnes, Bawnboy, Co. Cavan
