What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, extant 1894, on a symmetrical plan with three-bay two-storey rear (north) elevation. Now in ruins. Pitched roof now missing. Rendered walls over coursed rubble limestone construction with concealed cut-limestone flush quoins to corners. Pointed-arch central door opening with overgrown threshold, and concealed red brick voussoirs with no fittings surviving. Lancet or pointed-arch window openings with lichen-covered cut-limestone sills, and concealed red brick voussoirs with no fittings surviving. Interior in ruins. Set in hardcore gravel carpark.

The ivy-enveloped shell of a house representing an interesting component of the nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of the outskirts of Cong with the architectural value of the composition, one most likely connected with the Ashford Castle estate, confirmed by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form centred on an understated doorcase; and the "pointed" profile of the openings underpinning a stolid Georgian Gothic theme.
