Does anyone know what the openings in stone walls are called in Ireland where sheep and cattle cross through. They’re in the shape of a V. I need the name so I have the ability to look up photos of it. Thanks so much for your help.
Answer:
I believe they are called “cripple holes.” These are huge enough for sheep to pass through but too small for cattle to grant for grazing. They’re also known as hogg holes, thawls, thirl holes, smout holes, sheep runs, sheep creeps, sheep smooses and lunky holes.
