    There are many lime kilns in this locality which are now not in use. They are to be found in fields owned by the following:
    John Wallace, James Tracey, Mr. Mcgrath, Mr. Campion, Mr. Paddy Bergin, Mr. Gorman, Mr. James Downey, Nicholas Downey, and Mr. Michael Downey.
    So much lime was used long ago, because no artificial manures were known of, and lime is of great benefit to soil that cannot get a dressing of artificial manure. The ground is not fit to absorb much of it however.
