Why is this month called the "dark month"? Does the
name describe the grey sky in the day or the long nights? Is the name very old?
Perhaps its origin is as the first month of the Celtic calendar, the first
month of the dark half of the year. In this month the cattle and flocks of
sheep came down from their summer shieling to the winter pasture. The summer
grazing has names containing "Hav", like "Goonhavern", "Penhaver
Point" (Penn Havar), "Carnewas" (Carn Havos),
"Hammett" (Havod), "Halvosso" (Havosow). There are several
winter farms, "Gwavas" (Gwavos), Trewoofe (Trewav), and many home farms
"Hendra" (Hendre). Many old country roads have wide verges - the
animals could eat as they walked along. Nowadays, there are more tourists than
cattle or sheep
