What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1800, having flat-roofed twentieth-century porch to front, and flat-roofed addition to rear. Pitched reed-thatched roof with scolloped blocked ridge and rendered chimneystack and rendered copings. Whitewashed rendered walls with slight batter. Square-headed replacement timber windows with decorative render surrounds. Garden to front vounded by low rendered walls and yard to rear with concrete surface.
This is a good example of a thatched house typical of this part of County Galway. The retention of its thatched roof and of relatively small window openings enhances its architectural and technical interest.

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