Place & story

Meadows, flax and fairs

Samuel Lewis’s 1837 description of Roslea singles out Lisnabrack and Salloo for pasture where oxen were fattened for the English market. A flax mill belonged to Mr. Lynch, and fairs took place on the eighth of each month. The village’s central court-house accommodated petty sessions and manorial courts. These details connect the meadow district with livestock exports, local processing and regular gatherings, without assigning a numerical total to the cattle trade.^[2]
