    put. Then one end of the worm was attached to the pipe and the other came out at the bottom of the barrel.

  2. Crafts - Lime-Burning

    Share Share Post
    Long ago every farmer in Ballygeeher burned his own lime. First they built a kiln with a pipe out of the bottom. Then they put a layer of turf on the bottom, next a layer of lime-stones and so on until it was filled. Then it was set on fire and left there until it was burned out. Then the lime was drawn out on the bottom through the pipe and then it was ready for use.
