Appraisal
An outbuilding identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of County Wexford by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the construction in unrefined local materials displaying a battered silhouette with a failing surface finish revealing evidence of "daub" or mud; and the high pitched roof showing a protected oat thatch finish (cf. 15700723; 15701608; 15702208; 15702220; 15703326; 15703330; 15703757; 15704107).
