Place & story
Pasture, roads and Killeter’s fairs
Samuel Lewis described no more than a quarter of Termonamongan’s land as cultivated in 1837, while its mountains provided cattle pasture. Several new roads had opened and others were still under construction. At Killeter, fairs took place on 21 May, 21 July, 21 September and 21 November. His account brings together upland farming, improving road connections and recurring trading occasions within the wider parish. [2]
