What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1800. Pitched reed thatched roof having low red brick chimneystack. Limewashed rendered walls to front elevation and rendered walls elsewhere. Diminutive square-headed window openings having timber framed fixed pane windows. Square-headed door opening having timber half-door. House facing directly onto road with rubble limestone boundary wall at south-east.

The low elevation and thick walls of this house are typical of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. This house has unusually small windows, probably reflecting the size of those generally found in domestic vernacular architecture but not generally enlarged. Thatched buildings have become increasingly rare and the survival of this particularly interesting example, makes it a structure of more than usual interest.

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