    Lime Burning.
    Very few people burn lime nowadays. Mr Gallagher from Attymass, and James Hennigan from Emlymoran are the only two that burn kilns. This is how it is done. They fill the kiln with turf and make a big fire. Then when it is set fire to they cover it over with mud and (sods) scraws and leave it there for a few days.
