    Folklore.
    The houses long ago were very small small and were built of mud.They were roofed with bog sticks and covered with tough scraws which were got in boggy land.
    There were hardly chimnies in the houses.Instead there was a hole in the centre of the roof and the fire was made in the middle of the floor.
