    Fairs were held in this parish about one hundred years ago. The field is still known as Páirc an Aonaig and belongs to Mr Colbert. These fairs are discontinued. The nearest fairs to Castlemartyr are Killeagh & Midleton. They are held monthly.
    Special horse fairs are held twice a year and buyers come from all parts of Ireland to these fairs.
    Tolls are charged on animals:- One penny a head for pigs, cattle two pence a head, & horses four pence a head.
