   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Matt Carroll says that the Fair of Cootehill used to be held at a place between Tarara's Forge and Sharp's Cross at Drumfoon on the left hand side of the road. There were many fights at this fair. One way of causing disturbance was to roll a barrel full of stones down the hill into the Fair.
   The ancient churchyard of Drumgoon (drum dúnn) is near this place where fairs were formerly held.
