A house identified as an integral component of the nineteenth-century vernacular heritage of south County Wexford by such attributes as the alignment perpendicular to the road; the compact rectilinear lobby entry plan form; the construction in unrefined local materials displaying a battered silhouette with a failing surface finish revealing sections of ""daub"" or mud; and the high pitched roof originally showing a thatch finish according to the ""House and Building Return"" Form of the National Census (NA 1901; NA 1911).
