Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Discusses the layout of the traditional Irish farmyard with regard to the range of outbuildings that surrounded it. In the west of Ireland, the farmyard was often called `the street' and ran like a roadway between the cottage and the farm buildings, while its layout in the midlands more closely resembled a courtyard. Describes other features of the farmyard (with reference to the author's grandparents' home in the midlands) including the variety of fowl to be found in it, the position of the dung-heap which was used for manure, the stationary farm `machines' including a manually-operated turnip-slicer for preparing the pigs' food during the winter and a wooden trestle for cutting wood. Also mentions the various forms of farmyard activity during the year -- hay transportation in summer, harvesting in the autumn, and threshing, wood cutting and food preparation for the pigs in the winter. | ||||||
