- There was a "common" in Shrule once. Everybody could have something on this land. At the time that Mr. Kirwan was the landlord the people got afraid of him because he was going to take the land off them so they dug up the "common" and divided it among themselves but one or two man were not satisfied to dig their land. The people only left them a small piece that they did not dig. When Kiwan came to look at the place he said it was no good. He also said that he did not want any gardens and that he had enough of them. He also said the small fields were not worth taking The same fields are still there and the fields are still called the "common" Miss Gavin told this to me Bernard Tedders.
