    Some years ago when Mr Ahern's Grandfather was working in the forge his son was working with him. A man brought a barrel of a gun to the forge to make a set of shoes for his horse. They put it in the fire, after a while there was a great explosion and the gun jumped out of the fire. The shot hit the wall near the horse but did no harm to him. It was an old Fenian gun which the man found in a field.
