house

End-of-terrace three-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1800. Pitched corrugated-iron roof, with rendered chimneystack, concrete coping and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls with square-headed two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and painted stone sills. Square-headed door opening with timber lintel, timber battened half-door, stone plinth blocks and limestone step.

This modest house is representative of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. Though the corrugated iron is a replacement for the original thatch, it has nevertheless itself become a traditional material and compliments the original construction. The timber sash windows and half-door are typical of the genre. The house is the most intact of a row that has appeared in many nineteenth-century illustrations of the historic Rock of Cashel.
