  4. Why Farranfore is Called the Pike

    Share Share Post
    The village of Farranfore is commonly called the Pike. It appears in the olden times a turn pike was put standing at the cross of four roads, and every car that passed by was stopped and the owner had to pay one penny toll money for the upkeep of the roads. So much for the history of the Pike.

    People of long ago believed in piseogs. If a persons came in while the churn was being made, the people would not leave them out without taking a turn of the churn because it is said they would carry the butter.
