- Travelling folk often visit this place. Sometimes they come in vans and more times they come in carts. Nearly always they come in families, but on occations they come in ones. They nearly always come during the Summer months. They sell brooches, stoods, rings and other jewels. They also sell cans and other vessels which they made from tin.
The Doyles are the travellers who come most frequent to this district. They come in vans and the whole family comes generaly, but, two of them come sometimes.
The look for alms, and they buy rallit skins, horse hair, feathers and asses they can get cheap.
