  2. Local Industries - An Old Bacon House in Kilsheelan

    Share Share Post
    In the parish of Kilsheelan pigs are killed for home consumption. The thrifty farmers do not believe in buying meat which they can supply for themselves.
    The pigs are well fattened before killing. The meat is salted and put in a big wooden vessel, where it is left for about three weeks. It is then taken out and is fit for use as well as being preserved. Long ago in Kilsheelan bacon was cured in the old bacon house, which still stands in the village at the back of Miss Ryans Shop.
