    sound, and a lot of those ''Mud Wall Houses'' still remain. The door was on the side for shelter, the beds were mostly in the kitchen, and the fireplace was against the west end. It may be often noted that a door leads from the house to the byre or fowl house.
    Strange to say those houses were more comfortable than a lot of the present houses.
