What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey direct entry farmhouse, c.1820. Timber sash windows and windbreak protecting the entrance. Limewashed stone walls raised to allow for a flatter pitch for the present corrugated-iron roof than the previous thatch would have had. Pitched corrugated iron roof with upright gables. Farmhouse faces directly onto road. Chimneystacks no longer present. Stone barns are arranged to form a small and attractive complex to the rear of the house.

This farmhouse is quite typical of the vernacular heritage of the western and upland parts of Ireland through the builder's use of stone, pitched roofs with upright gables and the plan form which is termed ‘direct-entry’, where the front doorway leads directly into the main room (kitchen). The former location of the chimney over the main hearth is indicated by the short piece of corrugated-iron on the roof. The small size of the windows and the windbreak protecting the entrance are also common features of such houses.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
