A Little Shop - Stations [duchas:5043181]

In a little house in Ardkill (referred to at No 2 Ruined Houses of Ardkill) there was a shop.  Tea was sold in ounces and half-ounces and sugar in pounds.  Meal and flour were sold in quarter-stones, half stones and stones.
Large loaves were bought for four-pence.  Large loaves were bought on "the day of the hayrick", at Christmas, and for the "Station".  The "Stations" were held in country houses at Easter-time and Christmas-time.
The priest came to a house selected; the neighbours came in from the surrounding town-lands.  Confessions were heard and Mass said.  All those present received Holy Communion.  After-wards all got breakfast.
