    Folklore.
    The houses long ago were built with dobe buidhe.
    They were hipped houses and had a small little hole in the end of them for a chimney.
    They had no windows but a small hole in the wall and they used to stick out their hat in it at night to keep out the cat from the milk.
    They doors were only half ones and knitted wire on top.
