Why it mattered
The Thatch — Clashmore matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: An important component of the vernacular tradition in County Waterford, as identified by the small-scale proportions of the openings together with the thatched roof, this cottage retains most of its original form and massing, and contributes to the character of the streetscape on the approach into Clashmore from the south. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
