  2. Famine Times

    Share Share Post
    The Famine in 1846 - 47 did not affect this district much because the people got employment at cleaning rivers and making bridges, such as Stoneyford river which goes on and joins the Boyne at Trim and rises at a well in a field called the Rock field in Ballyhealy. The Famine was worst in the west of Ireland. The potatoes were very plentiful the year before the Famine and the people had to throw them in sandpits and in dykes. When the Famine came the people used to make champ with them. The potatoes came from America.
