Appraisal
This thatched house is an interesting example of vernacular domestic architecture in Ireland. Its traditional long, low form retains characteristic features such as the battered walls, steeply pitched roof, windbreak and irregular window fenestration. The outbuildings, traditionally arranged around a courtyard enhance the composition of the site.
