Lime kiln, Rylagh
Workers endured harsh conditions. Limekilns were known to present dangers to both workers and visitors. They were considered an excellent source of heat and it is told that people who left the local workhouse, having nowhere to stay at night, had chosen to sleep at Rylagh limekiln by night. Some were found dead in the morning as a result of inhaling deadly fumes from the kiln. Stories of the kiln handed down by our older people, serve as reminders of the relevance this place had in our community at one time.
