  1. (continued from previous page)
    was another little house owned by a woman named Brigid Kelly. The four walls were built of turf. It was thatched with rushes and in the middle of the roof there was a hole which let out the smoke. It consisted of one room with a small window. She had her bed in the kitchen. It was a wooden bed covered in the four sides with curtains. She kept this little bed near the fire. The ruins of this little house is still to be seen.
