    Clonmeen, Banteer and another near Murty Kelleher’s Clonmeen, Banteer. Lime used to reclaim the land. Surface in Jeremiah Cronin’s land very rich. All tillage done at that time with spade. Smiths made spades then. Sheehan & Coleman (smiths, worked in the village that time. What was ground in the mill (Leaden). Stowell next took mill. Quartertown, Brogeen, Curraghbawn, Kanturk mills were working also at that time.
    Jeremiah Cronin’s farm Nightfield belonged to his father-in-law, Johnny Sheehan and Johnny threw down all the fences to make large fields. The fallen fences choked the drains and made a wet farm.
