What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c.1800. Pitched reed thatched roof having smooth rendered low chimneystack. Painted smooth rendered walls. Square-headed window and door openings having painted render surrounds, painted sills, replacement timber windows and replacement timber panelled door. Smooth rendered wall and hedgerow to boundary.
The low elevation, thick walls, and small openings are typical of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. Once common throughout the countryside and small villages, thatched buildings have become increasingly rare. This example retains its original form and notable features such as its low chimneystack, and is pleasantly presented with painted details.

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