This fine thatched house is an integral member of a concentration of traditional thatched houses located within south County Limerick. The house follows a lobby entry design with a central hall leading to the interior, a design which is more common within the eastern half of the country. Thatched houses of this type were once a common feature of the Irish rural landscape but are becoming increasingly rare.
