Lime Making					    23-3-‘38
(Told by Richard Parle Poulpeasty Taghmon Co.Wexford)

Long ago the people used to make lime out of a rock and first of all they blast a stone
out of a rock and break them up. Then they would bring them up to the top of the kiln.
Then they set a fire in the bottom of the kiln with twigs and faggots and colum and then they break the stone finer and throw it down on the fire. When they (they) have in a layer of lime stone then they put in a layer of colum and so on upto the top of the kiln. They light the fire in the bottom of, and after some time the burnt stone is converted into lime.
(Written by Mollie Parle Poulpeasty Taghmon Co.Wexford)
