- There are various names on the cows around this place.
Our cow's name is "Polly cow."
There is a place not far here called after cows.
"Annamoe." It is a small village and the "Avon More River" flows past it.
Long ago there was a crossing through it called a ford and the cows used to cross it.
There are cowhouses and there are bails made from wood in them.
There are stakes in some houses and a chain on them to tie the cows necks.
There is generally Palm hung up in the rafters of the cow-house to bring luck to it.My Grandfather Mr. Michael McGowan told me on the 6th of May 1938.
