   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Just beside the school there was a nailer's forge. The nailer's name was Mick Safton. Nails were made in this forge up to five years ago. It is said that the slating nails used in most of the big churches in Meath and Louth were made in this forge. Machine made nails for boots and slating put an end to the forge in Rathwire.

   There were many lime kilns in this district some years ago for the farmers used a good deal of lime on the land for some of the soil is boggy. There was a big limekiln in Ballyhaw and another big one in Knockmant. The latter was working up to ten years ago. It was on Mr Purdon's land and belonged to an old man called Jonty Leavy. There is great lime stone in this locality.
