The Labourer’s cottage or Bothán Scóir was a small, basic, one roomed cottage. They were typically built on a half acre which was rented to them by the farm owner. The occupant would then work on the farm for a certain number of days as rent – typically about 80 days in the year. The rest of the time they farmed their own patch. They couldn’t afford their own livestock save for a few hens or ducks. Often the wife of the labourer found work in the kitchens of the larger farmhouse.
