House in Cloononaghaun, County Galway

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

What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1800. Pitched thatched roof and low rendered chimneystack, and rendered copings to gables. Whitewashed walls, slightly battered. Square-headed openings, with replacement timber fittings. Doorway in rear directly opposite front entrance.

This is a good example of an unextended vernacular house. The retention of a thatched roof gives this house its main significance.
