“Long ago there was a forge on the lands of Mr. Michael Myers, Graigue, Kildorrery, Co. Cork, at Graigue Cross...”
(continued from previous page)when that field was being ploughed many irons were found in it. This field is called the "Gabha Beag".
The smiths wash themselves in the forge water and it is said that it refreshes the smith even if he is very tired.
A privilige the smith has, is that he can walk through the king's palace in his working clothes in defiance of the sentries
