    There is a "buck house" in Mr. Carrolls field at Monasterboice and Mr. McCullough's field at Tullyard. Mrs Shevlin Old Road has a part of a loom called the hookey sniffy. There is a "buck house" in a field of Mr. Berrill's Greenlake, and one in a field owned by Mr L. Donegan Tymullen. Beside the "buck house" there is a pool of water which was used for washing the flax.
