  1. Place Names

    Share Share Post
    One of Mr Smyth's is called the "Ramsey Bank" It got its name from a ramsey and when cows eat it it destroys their milk and it can not be drunken by anyone. This weed is of a whitish hue and there is a terrible odour from it in Summer.
    Carrigower got its name from olden days. In the penal times the people had no cows but goats were used to supply them with milk. The goats in general were milked at a rock which was called "The Goats Rock" now styled as Carrigower or Carraig Gabhair.
