Lime-kilns are most plentiful all over the district, almost every farmer having one. The lime-stone is broken fairly small and every second layer of turf (from the adjoining bogs) and limestone is added until the kiln is full. Then fire is set at the 'eye' of the kiln and in a few days the lime in its burnt state can be drawn out. The turf disappears in ashes. The lime is used for many purposes - as a manure for land, as a component of mortar and for white washing of houses etc both interior & exterior surfaces.
