  According to www.historyireland.com/18th-19th-century-history/notice-t..., this is an evicted family, ca. 1887. The same family: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000043129

  Amazing. Powerful image. Bare feet there too. There must have been tough as nails.

  Here are some newspaper reports on the Gweedore evictions from the Derry Journal. From looking at the list of people at the bottom, there's a chance that this is "Daniel O'Donnell, wife and 3 small children, Knockastolar - evicted".

  While this abode is made of the most basic materials available nonetheless it is a well constructed shelter with a window and a bothán for the animals presumably out the back!
