Village of Moveen during the 1840's

A landscape view of the village of Moveen during the forced evictions of the 1840's. Dwellings, some of them without a roof, appear without human habitation, apart from one with smoke coming out of its chimney. A lone peasant stands next to a roofless cottage building.
