Another version of the story of the Burned Houses is given by Diarmuid Mac Carthaig (13 bliana) who got it from his father 60 bl. Seo é :-1.
In Inane Reengaroga there is a place called "The Burned Houses." Long go in the bad times a lot of poor people lived there. The houses were thatched and all were in one street together.
One night one of them took fire and they were all burned. Near this place was a Protestant school and also a shop. There are only two Protestants in the island now. - In Árd na Gréine, Rinngaróige there is an old Cill where unbaptised children used be buried
The sign of the old road approaching it is still to be seen and a few years ago three querns were found there. It is supposed it was the opening of a Lios.
