  1. Local Forges

    Share Share Post
    There are five forges in the parish of Kilcaragh. One is in Deerpark and is owned by Michael Dennehy, another in Ballyhorgan owned by Sonny Kirby, another in Ahabeg owned by Patrick Galvin, while another is in Crotta owned by Eugene Canty and a fifth in Clandougles owned by Joseph Crowley.
    In former years Mr. Crowley's forge belonged to Ned Leahy who left this district and went to live in Ballybunion.
    Eugene Canty's father was a smith and he learned his trade from him. Michael Dennehy's father was also a smith and Michael learned his trade from him.
