What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1860, having opposed doorways. Pitched straw-thatched roof with mesh over, also having iron and granite pegs (some used to secure thatch), and having rendered copings and chimneystack. Rendered and limewashed walls with slight plinth. Square-headed openings with painted sills, and replacement windows and door. Single-storey outbuilding to rear with pitched roof and rubble stone walls. Set overlooking Bá Thráigh Éanach [Trawenagh Bay].

This vernacular house is distinctive of the region's vernacular architecture. It retains a thatched roof with evidence for the roped thatching technique in the form of pegs set into the wall tops. The low chimneystack and relatively small openings are characteristic of vernacular architecture in general. Located in a prominent hillside setting, overlooking Bá Thráigh Éanach [Trawenagh Bay], this house is a significant feature in the landscape.
