Near Oysterhaven estuary, 2-storey gable-ended house. Garden front (SE) of 2 bays; tripartite windows with shallow reveals. Entrance with simple fanlight in W face of lean-to addition to rear; gabled addition at N corner. Shallow reveals suggest early 18th century date; 1842 OS 6-inch map seems to show existing house without lean-to as one wing of larger L-shaped structure. Entrance pier has limestone slab of medieval appearance, depicting animal (probably boar). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
