A farmhouse identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of County Wexford by such attributes as the rectilinear lobby entry plan form; the construction in unrefined local materials displaying a pronounced battered silhouette with sections of ""daub"" or mud suggested by an entry in the ""House and Building Return"" Form of the National Census (NA 1901; NA 1911); and the high pitched roof showing a protected oat thatch finish (cf. 15612023; 15700723; 15701608; 15702208; 15702220; 15703326; 15703330; 15703753; 15703757).
