- Local Fairs
A pig fair is held in Dunmanway the nearest town to this parish on the last Tuesday in each month.
On the last Wednesday of each month a cattle fair is held.
Before the fairs, buyers sometimes transact business in the farmers' houses.

A toll of sixpence a head is paid on cattle and three pence a head is paid on each pig. This toll is paid toMr T. Sullivan who, I am told "rents" ten from Lady Bandon.
