Magheragallen Byre-dwelling

Dating from 1870, this dwelling overlooked Gweedore bay in northwest County Donegal. It's astonishing that people were living in these as late as the 1870's. To the left (with window) the human inhabitants lived, to the right the livestock were housed with a gully separating the two living areas to drain the animal waste away. It can't have been very comfortable.
