    I know a forge and it is in the downland of Monglass and it is in the Parish of All Saints and is in the Barony of Raphoe. The name of the man who owns it is called Thomas Burke. He makes horse shoes, pot hooks, and mends implements, and he shoes horses. I know another forge and it is in the downland of Keshends and it is in the Parish of All Saints also and is in the Barony of Raphoe. His name is Bob nixon and he makes horse shoes and shoes horses also.
