- Phil Shanahan Clohinch owns a churn which is fifty years of age. It is one and a half feet wide at the bottom and a half foot at the top, it is two feet high. It is an upright churn having a lid with a hole in the middle through which the dash moves up and down. There are four hoops around it.
Butter is made twice a week in Summer and once a week in Winter.
Mrs Shanahan does the churning. People who come in, give a hand to the churning because they are supposed to take the luck from the butter if they did not. The churning takes half an hour. The churn dash is always moved up and down. When the butter is made it is in a lump in the churn.
