  1. Ancient Furnace Scars.
    The lands of Lackinareague are marred by two immense black patches. One lies near a well & the other is in the centre of a field near Lackinareague House.
    These are supposed to be the relics of furnaces used by the Danes in connection with the brewing of heather wine.
