Place & story
Sea manure and the bay fishery
The boats bringing seaweed and sand ashore for Kinard’s farms also sometimes worked in Dingle Bay’s fishery, according to Samuel Lewis in 1837. The parish, written as Kinnard in his account, was crossed by the Lispole River. About half its land consisted of mountain pasture interspersed with bog; the remainder was chiefly tilled. Materials gathered from the bay supplied manure for this farming landscape. [2]
