Appraisal
This building is a good example of a modest-scale labourer’s cottage that is imbued with a quasi-vernacular quality. Although renovated and extended in the late twentieth century, leading to the loss of many of the original materials, the original form of the cottage is still discernible. The cottage is one of a pair (including 11815007/KD-19-15-07) and is of some social significance, representing an example of the smaller-scale buildings that constitute part of the architectural heritage of the village of Kill.
