  1. There was a candlemaker around Shrule. First of all he would put down a pot of tallow. He had wicks and he would dip the wicks into the tallow and it would freeze. There was an underground passage from the castle and to the churchyard and Cnoc na Beannuighthe. There is a lime kiln in Shrule and another at Cnoc Fada.
