Ballylibert - St James is the patron Saint of Ardfield. His feast day is held on the twenty-third of July. Long ago the people had a great day that day, but the old customs nowadays are dying out. There were a couple of dances held in the parish that day long ago, and the people used to go to the Public houses and get drunk and come home singing.There used tents come out from Clonakilty four or five of them long ago but nowadays only two come. All the children buy sugarstict from the tents and biscuits and Gooseberries.
