Mattocks, a kind of cross between pick and hoe, were widely used for cultivation, and on the Cape Shore3 to this day are still called by their Gaelic4 name of gruff or gruffawn, though now used only for special jobs.

When carts came into use in the 1870s, they were home-made on the two-wheel pattern used in Ireland, rather than the four-wheel waggons of English origin.5
