What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1870, having porch addition to front, and addition to rear. Pitched straw-thatched roof with wire mesh over and wired to stone pegs to gable and eaves, and two rendered chimneystacks; flat felt roofs to porch and addition. Roughcast-rendered walls with painted plinth course. Square-headed openings with painted stone sills and replacement timber windows and replacement glazed timber door. Three-bay single-storey vernacular house of c.1820 to west, having rounded pitched roof with remains of thatch, sod underthatch, stone pegs to gable, rubble chimneystacks, and square-headed openings. Single-storey rubble-walled outbuildings to rear.
A well-maintained thatched house that retains many characteristic vernacular features, including small openings, low chimneys, and especially its thatched roof. The thatch has been secured to stone pegs, located in the eaves and gables, in the traditional manner seen in Donegal. The ruined house and outbuildings to the rear are interesting vernacular structures.
