What is recorded here

The Down Survey (1655-6) map shows a farm house roughly at the site of a small vernacular building of hearth-lobby type (pers. comm. Barry O'Reilly). Access to the interior is blocked. Located by the roadside on a right angle bend in a low-lying situation. Dwelling has been modernised with a new slate roof dotted with skylights and new render.
