    There is only one forge in the parish of Balla. It belongs to Mr John Kevil, Balla, barony of Carra, Co. Mayo. The forge is built with stones and roofed with slates. There are a lot of barns around it in which the irons and things that are made and being made are kept.
    Horses are shod in it and scufflers, harrow-pins, bolts spades-rings staples and window-frames door-frames and carts are made there.
