ix STATISTICAL SURVEY 



many of our mountains, but the effects are here moft 

 confpicuous; though I could not difcovcr the lead 

 particle of limeftone-gravel, which abounds in almoft 

 the whole of the low-lands in this barony, and which 

 I fhall prefently take notice of. 



In the flat country, below this mountain, which is 

 rich and extenfive, the foil is capable of producing as 

 good crops as any part of the kingdom ; generally a 

 deep foil, abounding with limeftone and limeftone- 

 gravel, but the latter is but very fparingly attended to. 

 The general crops are potatoes, barley, oats, and flax, 

 and the rotation of them is moft commonly as here fet 

 down, with this difference, that two or three fucceffive 

 crops of oats are taken after barley ; blit here this fyf- 

 tem is more pardonable, than in the foils of the county 

 in general. Some patches of wheat are to be met in 

 the barony of Clogher, the culture of which might be 

 extended to a large fcale, as the foils, in general, of 

 this neighbourhood are peculiarly fuited to that grain. 



From Five-mile-town to Clogher, diftance about 

 five miles ; foil remarkably good for grafs and corn ; 

 abounds with limeftone and limeftone-gravel. 



From Clogher to Augher, diftance about two miles ; 

 foil (hallow, and inclining to a reddifh hue , limeftone 

 fcarce ; crops, potatoes, flax, and oats. 



From Augher to Aughnacloy, by Killybrick, &c , 

 diftance about fix miles ; foil mallow, inclining to clay, 

 very tenacious ; crops, chiefly potatoes and oats, fome 



flax,
