Appraisal
Modest in design and small in stature, this house exhibits the simple and functional form of vernacular buildings in Ireland. Despite its relatively late date for a vernacular structure, its form nonetheless reflects traditional building methods and although extended and altered, the original form is still visible. This house reflects a type of building becoming increasingly rare in Ireland.
