Talk:Curraghs

"It was the exploitation of peat that made the land slightly drier than it is today. When the practice of peat cutting was discontinued, the ditches in the area filled with water and bogs were formed."

I think this seems a bit unclear... was it that the ditches silted up and so the curraghs didnt drain? (RamseyPalace (talk) 09:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC))
