Cosgrave's forge, T. Roddy's and Pat Gormley's forges are in the town. Tom Gormley's forge is beside the road and also beside the "Yellow River." John Gormley's is beside a road.

   The local forge has a slated roof. It has two windows and a chimney on it. The forge door is of an ordinary shape. There is one fireplace in the forge. The bellows is made of leather. They weren't made locally. The implements the smith uses are : - the bellows and the anvil, the sledge, the striking hammer, the punch, the pinchers and the rasp.

   The smith shoes horses and asses.
   He makes gates, loys and crooks - which are used in farm houses.

   He strips the horse's hooves and cleans them in the open air on the small margin of grass that is outside the gorge. He also clips horses in the open air. He makes shoeings for carts on the flag of cement behind the forge. He cools the red iorns in a big well that is at the side of the forge.
