Representing one of a group of two in the locality (with 12400603/KK-06-03) a picturesque modest-scale cottage forms an important component of the vernacular heritage of County Kilkenny as identified by attributes including the small-scale proportions of the openings, the construction in locally-sourced materials, the thatched roof, and so on. Although now apparently disused having been historically well maintained the cottage presents an early aspect, thereby making a positive impression on the character of the locality.
