    Considering the amount of Labour invested in building a cranog it would be difficult to abandon such a defensive position, bearing in mind that the occupiers if leaving would then have to build another defensive position at considerable cost. Easier to maintain what you have which would explain the long term use of these cranogs. It would be very interesting if one could be rebuilt as an education and tourist site.

    Thank you for a very interesting talk. I grew up in County Cavan and we used nearly all the words and phrases that you talked about. I was interested that you mentioned the grape, that was also very familiar to me too. My father used to talk about carrying somthing under his oxter. I thought it was a word from around our area in Cavan but I loofrom West Australia.ked it up to find it was a real word. Thanks again Sean, from West Australia.

    People from Newry, County Down, were rudely referred to as ‘Newry Nucks’, the same sound as the Leitrim ‘nuck’ ’ or ‘knuck’ mentioned. A ‘git’ means the same as ‘get’ in the sense of ‘begotten’ so although used as an insult is actually neutral unless combined with E.g. ‘hoor’s get’ I.E. ‘whore’s get’. A ‘Tartar’ of a woman probably refers to the allegedly savage people of that country.
