A picturesque small-scale cottage identifiable as an important element of the vernacular legacy of County Kilkenny on account of the presence of attributes such as the construction in locally-sourced materials including mud, the windbreak, the thatched roof, and so on. Having been well maintained to present an early aspect the cottage makes a positive contribution to the character of the local landscape.
