- (2) There was an old hedge school in Crushe's (Treanor's) barn (Davagh) It is said to have existed about ninety years ago. The subjects were taught through Irish. He was paid with grain and potatoes which he sold. Stones were used for sitting on and slate and slate pencil for writing. The teacher did not lodge in this house but in various houses in the district. There was no blackboard used. The mas (No 1)Mary Skinnader
