Local Crafts
Curraghs are still made at Oldbridge, Drogheda. They were formerly made by the late Michael O'Brien, of Oldbridge who was very skilled in the art, and at the present time they are made by Phillip McCormac of Sheephouse.
Hazel sticks are first cut and seasoned. They are then bent across each other and stuck in the ground. Thin rods are then woven through the other rods at the top of the curragh to keep the stronger rods in their places. The curragh is then covered with heavy stones and left in that way for a couple of weeks. Then it is covered with horse hide, pig's skin, or canvas. It is then ready for use. Curraghs are still used on the River Boyne, at Oldbridge.- Bailitheoir

The quarry at Sheephouse was for years a great source of employment in the district- giving employment to about 100 men between stonecutters and labourers. Most of the churches in Drogheda and in other places were built from Sheephouse limestone which was famous throughout the country.
The quarry is now closed.
