Set back from line of road with hedge to perimeter.

A house identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of County Kildare by such attributes as the compact rectilinear lobby entry plan form; the construction in unrefined local materials displaying a feint battered silhouette with sections of ""daub"" or mud suggested by an entry in the ""House and Building Return"" Form of the National Census (NA 1901; NA 1911); the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing; and the high pitched roof showing an oat straw thatch finish.

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