When an animal is sold the buyer generally expects a rope or a halter for luck but it is not given in all cases. There are special fairs held for the sale of sheep, horses, and bonhams. I do not know of any places which were in ancient times the scenes of monarchs [?] or political assemblies.
There is a fair held in Carrignagat near Collooney which was the scene of a battle between the English and the French. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
