  1. Old Forges

    Share Share Post
    There was a forge near Bally Bacaugh long ago. It was in the parish of Kilmaine. It was built in a road behind the village. The road is called “borheen na Ceardrain.” It was a small thatched house. The Heneghans that built the forge. There is a small well near the the forge and it is called “Tobar Éanachain.” In that well they used to tighten the tyres for the neighbours.
