What is recorded here
Outbuilding in Gortbrack South has stone steps climbing both ends of its thatched roof. A tiny shed with an outdoor staircase for crows: let one arrive with a walking stick and the whole parish will have to humour him.
Detached single-bay single-storey thatched outbuilding, extant 1915. Pitched reed or rush thatch roof with limewashed rough hewn rubble stone crow stepped coping to gables, and exposed steel stretchers to eaves tied on timber pegs. Limewashed walls. Square-headed central door opening with concealed dressings framing timber boarded door. Square-headed central window opening to rear (south-east) elevation with limewashed dressings framing one-over-one timber sash window having part exposed sash box. Set perpendicular to road.
A thatched outbuilding identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of the rural environs of Ballycroy by such traits as the compact rectilinear plan form; the construction in unrefined local fieldstone; and the crow stepped roofline showing a replenished thatch finish.
