The "lump" lime is used for white-washing and building purposes and is sold for 2/6 per barrel measure, and the "slack" lime for about 5/- per load, this lime is used for manuring the land. There are two big lime kilns in the vicinity of Lixnaw, one in Ballintoker owned by William Mc Auliffe and one in Ballinclogher owned by John Brosnan, both of these kilns supply the people of Lixnaw, and the people from the neighbouring districts with lime.
