The Sweat pond Folklore Stories of the Irish landscape

Observing with curiosity the fields and country side  we walk in. will invariably lead us to many questions, but, few answers. In this episode, I am looking at the phenomenon of a pond known as the sweat pond. A story told with a very dim memory of, a long forgotten local knowledge. However with a little bit of research sweat huts and sweat ponds it appears have been a feature in Ireland for centuries. stories dismissed as folklore and  fairy tales can and do have an element of truth.
