The subsoil is more generally a coating of gravel resting on the rock than the rock itself, and it is often in a very indurated or cemented state, owing to the abundance of oxide of iron proceed¬ 
ing from the decomposition of the schistose rocks. It is then called by the term Till, generally red Till, that being its prevailing colour. Much of this substance is injurious to vegetation, 
and it is generally dreaded ; but in small quantities, particularly when mixed with lime and clay, it could do no harm, and might be beneficial. There is less of it in this state than in some of 
the other parishes. 
that is by grazing on the Ennishowen Mountains, where the pasture varies from ten shillings to fifteen shilling, for a cow, during six months and, 
i, this amounts to about an acre in the parish of Templcmore, which parish, therefore, gains that quantity of land by each cow grazing from home 
to distance from the point on the shore, or elsewhere, where loaded in the cart; the sea distance not being here taken into account. Dung .»
