- Lynch's house is the oldest house in Druminiskin. It is thatched in the old style. The cupols are made out of bog-oak, and covered with light sods or scraws. The bog-oak lasted longer than any other timber.
There is only one window on the kitchen, and it is very small. The floor is made of flags, and the bedroom floors are about six inches higher than the kitchen.
Ther is no hob behind the fire. Each side of the fire, there are two little lofts. About two feet from the fire-place is a corner, in which a bag of sods can be put for the fire.
The bedroom floors are made of clay, packed hard. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
