What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey direct entry thatched house, extant 1841, on a rectangular plan. Hipped and pitched thatch roof with chicken wire-covered exposed stretchers to degraded raised ridge having exposed scallops, yellow brick Running bond chimney stack having chevron- or saw tooth-detailed capping, concrete coping to gable (west), and chicken wire-covered blind stretchers to eaves having blind scallops. Replacement cement rendered battered walls. Square-headed central door opening with concealed dressings framing glazed timber boarded door. Remodelled square-headed window openings (east) with concealed dressings framing replacement casement windows. Square-headed window opening (west) with concealed dressings framing replacement casement window. Lane fronted.
A house identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of south County Waterford by such attributes as the rectilinear direct entry plan form; the construction in ""daub"" or mud as suggested by an entry in the ""House and Building"" Return Form of the National Census (NA 1901; NA 1911); the somewhat disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing; and the high pitched roof showing a thatch finish.

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