- Blackheads, thristles and nettles are the most harmful weeds growing on the land of this district.
They spread very rapidly and are harmful to the soil.
Trembling grass, scutch and blue grass grow where the land is bad.
Blackheads are used as a cure for the common cold.
They are cut and left to dry then they were stewed and given to the person affected with the cold to drink.
A weed called slaunless is used for stoping a cut or wound from bleeding.
