   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   The houses long ago were built of mud and stone. The roof was thatched. The houses were very small and the doors and windows were small. The doors were in two halves. The fires were on the floor. There was an open chimney. The floors were made of clay. There were not many rooms in the houses. There was a bed, called a settle bed, in the kitchen. This bed was covered over with boards and that was called a canopy. The front of the canopy was made of sally wattled plaited in and out through one another. Wood was burned in the fire. A bulrush dipped in tallow was used for light. The fires were lit with a piece of flint.
