- Very old houses which were built over 200 years ago are still in existence in this locality. They are thatched and lined with scraws. The walls are made of stone and mortar and are very thick. The windows few and very small. The floors are made of clay. In the centre of the kitchen there is a projecting or locally called a "Kippin" chimney. It is made of rods woven like a basket and then plastered. There is an iron bar at the top of the chimney from which hangs a strong chain. This chain reaches down to the ground and from a crook or hook, within a foot or so of the ground the pots and kettles are hung for cooking purposes.One of the oldest houses in the parish of Fuerty is in the village of Tubberavaddy, now called Passage. It belongs to a man named Pat Lohan who heard his father say that the night of the big story of 1839 all the people in the village ran to Lohans for shelter and safety. At the end of the house there is an old Boreen which was formerly the road to Creggs in Co Galway.There is a branch of an old apple tree shaped as a crane in the fireplace of another very old house. It is used to hang pots and kettles.
