    Flail-making
    Long ago people threshed the oats with a flail. The handle was made with an ordinary timber but the "boiltín" was made from holly. The "boiltín" was tied on to the handle with a "miodal" and the "miodal" was made from sheepskin.

    Lime was burned in this place but they got out of it because everyday the men saw a goat passing through the flam.
