- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)called "custom" There is a place a short distance from Kenmare town called the "custom gap" Where the money was collected. The rate-collector always collected this money. To avoid this tax, buyers came through the country buying cattle at an appointed time + place + drink and food was taken to such places, even barrels of porter + whisky were to be found there. Fields + places where those fairs were held are still called "Páirc an Aonaigh[?]"

No man would dream of attending a fair without his blackthorn stick at that time. Besides these were bands (small) of robbers whose business it was to hide before the people returning with money from fairs + to rob them.
