J. Boggan, house in County Meath

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c.1820, now in use as public house. Single-storey porch addition to entrance elevation. Replacement timber sash windows and red brick chimneystack. Flat-roofed extension attached to rear. Remains of mud-walled outbuildings to rear.

This thatched house makes a notable contribution to the streetscape, due to its location at the junction of several roads. Though many of the original features and materials have been replaced, this thatched house is representative of the vernacular tradition in Ireland.
