Place & story
Trade across a parish boundary
Samuel Lewis included Carrigadrohid village within Aghinagh parish in 1837. It had a penny post and lay on the Cork-to-Tralee mail-coach route. He recorded that the owner of Carrigadrohid’s lands held a patent for a fair, but that the fair itself took place in a field in Cannaway parish. The distinction separates the landowner’s right from the location of the trading gathering. Lewis supplies no fair date or name for the field in this entry. [2]
