- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)Turf and bog-oak have been used for fire in this district. There are thousands of acres of bog in this area still.Bog-deal splinters were used as lanterns at night to help travellers through bogs and mountains. Rush-lights were made by peeling green-rushes and dipping them in grease or oil and allowing them to harden or stiffen. These rush-lights were burned in a special kind of candle-stick. One of these candlesticks is still to be seen in Tom Maguire's, Gubrawoolly. It is a piece of wood about three inches square having an iron-spike ten or twelve inches high standing in the centre at the top of which a clasp was attached in which the rush-light was secured.Candles were made locally by rolling "grease" or lard (from pigs) and pulling a piece of thread or twine through.
