Appraisal
This single-storey farmhouse is typical in size and form of the vernacular tradition of North Cork. The window arrangement may appear casual and indiscriminate, but is simply a response to the plan of the interior. The setting is enhanced by the boundary walls and piers and by the solidly built outbuilding to the north.
