  1. The Field Barge

    Share Share Post
    The Fieldbarge generally called "Filbars" gets its name from the times when boats came up the River Nore from New Ross. This trading is stopped now about ninty years, and the barges loaded and unloaded here, and hence the name Field-barge and it is now corrupted to Filbars.
