- (continued from previous page)Rowes lived there about twenty years ago. Mc Keoghan's house is almost completely knocked except the remains of a few walls, and they are nearly knocked. Below Massford bridge there is a place known as "Anty Sockets". There are four or five trees there and some stones also which belonged to the houses.
