    (continued from previous page)
    Half doors are still very common in the district. These were used as a protection against fowl coming in or other animals, also to give some light.
    Turf was principally used for the fire and timber to a lesser extent. "Borauns", dried cow-dung, were gathered in the fields and used as fuel also.
    For light a rag was dipped in grease and set in a tin or canister. There were also rush lights, dipped in tallow. Bogdeal was also split and lit. A string of cotton was dipped in melted tallow and allowed to dry. Then dipped again and left dry. Continued until the required thickness was got and then used as candles.
