    stored in pits in the fields. Some place in the field the farmer digs a place a little lower than the ridge and the potatoes are thrown in that and rushes are put on them and then it is all covered over with clay and they are thatched to keep them safe from the frost.
    The local names given to the potatoes are kerrpinks, arran-victors, beauty of beauts, arran-banners, champions, Queens and epicures. The foremost potato in this district is the kerr-pink.
