There is an old lime kiln in Ballyhoman in the parish of Askeaton. It is on the lands of John O'Shaughness.
It was working for six years, but before that it was not working for thirty years. It is a very old lime kiln.
There was a lot of lime burned in it years gone by. It was the principal place for it until the one started in Askeaton.
