  1. (continued from previous page)
    a stopped locáns the smiths used to cool the iron and they call it the tóisk ever since. There was another old forge in the bottom of our land north. I dont know who owned it. The field is called after it carcsin. The foundation is there yet near a stream. It was near that forge my father got the battleaxe when he was cutting the turf.
