- This is a large field in the townland of Cronroe in the parish of Ashford, Co. Wicklow. It is on the land recently owned by Admiral Casement - kinsman of the Roger Casement of 1916 - but now owned by a Mr Bradshaw, a neighbouring farmer.
From very olden times up to 80 or 100 years ago a fair was held once a month in the place. For days previously, tinkers, pedlars, thimblemen etc of all classes gathered, and fair-day beheld a crowded scene. Squabbles and fights were the order of the day, & it is said that young men cut their "shillelahs" (or stout oaken sticks a week or two before, and put them up to season in the chimney - so that a useful weapon could be ready to hand - in case of emergency. This field has never been ploughed up in living memory until this year (1834)
Another tradition is that a toll of 1/- per head on each beast sold at the fair was collected at the gate.
