    The smith that is in this forge was a smith from his young days, and his father was a smith, and his grandfather was also a smith.
    It is a slated dwelling, and the door is painted red.
    He usually makes, ploughs, grubbers gates, horse's shoes, drill harrows, harrow pins, and spade heads. He shoes horses, asse's slipes, and barrows.
    Paddy Boylan, Lasnaclay has the cure of the ricketts. Forge sparks or forge water is a cure of the warts.
    Without the local forge the farmer would have to go a long way to get his implements repaired.
