- There are three forges in use in this parish and two others in ruins. The ancestors of the present smiths worked in these same forges. All of them are situated near a cross and near a stream.
The roofs are made of wood and the walls of stone and mortar. The smiths shoe horses, ponies, donkeys and wheels.
