What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey thatched cottage, c.1800, with entrance windbreak to centre on an elliptical plan. Refenestrated, c.1950. Hipped roof with water reed thatch having rope work to ridge, and red brick Running bond chimney stack having paired stringcourses. Painted rendered walls over random rubble stone construction. Square-headed window openings with painted sills, rendered surrounds, and replacement one-over-one timber sash windows, c.1950. Square-headed door opening with limestone-flagged threshold, and replacement glazed tongue-and-groove timber panelled door, pre-1994. Road fronted.

Identified as an important element of the vernacular legacy of County Kilkenny by attributes including the construction in locally-sourced materials, the windbreak incorporating an elliptical plan redolent of the Callan region, the thatched roof, and so on a well-maintained modest-scale thatched cottage reputed to be amongst the oldest-surviving in the area makes a positive contribution to the scenic value of the local landscape.
