Place & story

Land and livelihoods

Samuel Lewis described shallow loam over heavy clay in both Aghabog and Ematris, parishes he placed in Dartry barony. At Aghabog he stressed the need for drainage and treatment with lime and marl, while describing widespread involvement in linen manufacture. His Ematris account presented linen weaving on a smaller scale alongside agriculture. It also recorded a lending library supported by subscriptions and a charitable society supplying blankets and other necessities to poor residents. [2] [3]
