What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey direct entry farmhouse, built c.1780, with single-bay portion to the north end reconstructed in 1992. The house, which was the scene of battle between government forces and United Irishmen in February 1799, is now a visitor centre. The walls are constructed in coursed rubble and whilst the pitched roof is thatched and has whitewashed rubble chimneystacks. The entrance consists of a timber tongue and groove half door whilst the small window openings are flat-headed and have replacement "pivot" timber windows. Internally there are three rooms opening off each other, with whitewashed walls, earthen floors and exposed roughly-hewn replacement roof timbers. The farmhouse is set within a small rural enclosure with dry stone walls.

This official record and map point do not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
