- There are two forges in the parish, one of which belongs to John Fitzpatrick and the other to John Crowley. John Fitzpatrick's father and grandfather were smiths. John Crowley's father was a labourer. The forges are situated in the village beside the public road. A stream runs adjacent to both forges.
There is a similarity between the two forges. They are covered with timber and felt, and there is a large door in each. In each forge is a hob on which the fire is.
