What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1860, with windbreak entrance. Pitched thatched roof with remains of roped thatch to rear, and having some remaining metal and stone pegs built into walls; roof partly collapsed; one rendered chimneystack survives. Flat stone flag roof to windbreak. Rendered rubble stone walls with limewash to front and gables, unrendered to rear, and raised rendered plinth to southwest corner. Square-headed door and window openings with remains of two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with stone sills, and remains of timber battened door. No openings to rear wall.
This vernacular house has fallen into serious disrepair. It has lost some of its original details, such as doors and windows and the thatched roof has partly collapsed. The lack of openings to the rear wall is characteristic of vernacular houses of Dún na nGall [County Donegal].
