What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey vernacular house, c.1820, with ‘bed outshot’. Blocked up window openings. Timber battened door. Limewashed stone walls. Pitched corrugated-iron roof with single chimneystack. Side of house with outshot now faces road.

This vernacular house is notable by the presence of the ‘bed outshot’. This projection, formerly accommodating a bed space in the kitchen, beside the hearth, was traditionally the sleeping place of an elderly parent or grandparent, who was thus involved in the everyday activities of the house. The outshot is found in north-western counties between Galway and Antrim and is a traditional feature of many houses in Atlantic Europe.
