Located on a low-lying landscape in the village of Mayglass. This is a four-bay thatched vernacular house of two storeys that is constructed of earthen walls over a stone base. It was constructed in a number of phases, dating from c. 1675 to the late 19th century, but it has remained unchanged since then. The house is a variant of the ’lobby entry’ house and retains a number of early features, including its fireplace with a wall oven and some of the windows, but the SW end of the house is thought to be an addition. Both the house and its farm buildings are undergoing a conservation programme since 1998 with support from the Heritage Council (Reeners 2003). Part of the works necessitated the erection of a shed over the structure to shelter it and archaeological excavation (98E0587) in connection with this identified some ground levels associated with the house (Sheehan 2000), but further work under the same licence uncovered original early walls extending outside the present house to the NE (Wren 2000).
