    tenants from townlannds of Blackhall, Haggard, Newtown, Bannow, Graigue and Grange.
    Brandane tenants being under a different landlord were not entitled to draw by right from these beaches - they were free to draw from Cockle Strand.
    Each tenant had a particular berth on road on which they left small loads when woar was plenty on strand to be drawn home afterwards. These berths can still be pointed out at Blackhall and are marked by stones.
