The people pointed out sites of houses then occupied and now in ruins and no traces of them they are completely buried in the ground. When the "blight" first came the people did not know what it was, it cut down the stalks before they were fully grown. The potatoes decayed in the ground. A story was told that when three men went out for a day's digging they would only get a small can full. Some potatoes were kept for the following year and others had none for seed. The people ate porridge while they had it, when it was done they ate dandelion sorrel and any roots they could gather in the fields and hedges. blackberries and other wild berries were also eaten. The potatoes were sown in ridges.
