    There are two forges in this district one in Belcoo and one in Blacklion.
    The name of the |smith in both of them is Miles Flynn. The forge in Belcoo has a slated roof, there are some rooms over the forge. It is whitewashed outside.
    There is one door on it, and it is the shape of a horse shoe.
    The forge in Blacklion seem's to be a very old building. It is thatched and is built of stones. The forge in Belcoo is in the village and the one in Blacklion is beside the village at the end of the fair green. There is one fireplace in each of them.
