What is recorded here
Detached single-bay single-storey vernacular outbuilding, built c.1800. Pitched roped thatch roof with crow-stepped gables. Rubble limestone walls. Square-headed doorways to long walls, having replacement sheet timber door to front and battened timber to rear.
This building is one a small number of surviving thatched outbuildings on Árainn. Its construction and materials are typical of the diminutive ancillary structures of the Atlantic islands. Its setting is enhanced by its association with the thatched house on the opposite side of the road.
