    Share Share Post
    Barm-bread, oatmeal-bread and boxty-bread were made in this district long ago
    Bread from wheat and wheat and oatmeal was also made locally.
    Wheatmeal was ground in Knockatudor, Tunnyin and at a mill at the old kiln as well as corn. John Clerkin's grandfather was miller in this mill when it was working.
