    About fifty years ago the farmers in our locality manured their land with lime which they burned in old kilns. They had to go to the lime stone quarries in Dunkit in the County Waterford and bring them by boat to Campile. Then the farmers had to burn the lime in kilns, and leave it burning there for a week. The fire was put out then and the lime taken away and spread it on their land.
