  1. Churning

    Long ago people used to put the butter into a little barrel and put it under ground until they would get time to sell it in the market.
    About a year ago men were working in a bog in Ballydermott and after cutting for a while they came on a small barrel full of butter. The butter seemed fresh but the barrel was all decayed. They took it home with them but I do not know what they did with it but I know they did not use it.
