    Our Farm At Home.
    Dan O'Connor,
    Lower Athea,
    Co. Limk.
    The "Fe" - A marshy low-lying place where turf was cut, about one hundred years ago.
    The "Fiddlers Hole" - It is a very deep hole in the river Galey. It is about twenty yards down from the main road. At one time three fiddlers were going from their homes to a dance in Kilbaha, which is a townland in Co. Kerry, and they had to cross the river, and they god drowned. Ever since that time,that part of the river is known as the "Fiddlers Hole".
