- Few of the old crafts in fact it would be more correct to state that none carried on in the district are now to be seen. A tannery existed in the Main Street and the place is still known as the tanyard, three pits for the industry also existed in Killowen while there were salt-pans in the field to the west of Richard Gilmans house at Curraduffe.
