Appraisal
An appealing modest-scale cottage representing an important element of the vernacular heritage of Clogh on account of the presence of characteristics including an informal arrangement of openings in a long low range, the construction in locally-sourced materials, the thatched roof, and so on. However, while many of the early attributes survive place the external expression of the composition has not benefited from the insertion of replacement fittings to the openings. Occupying a prominent position in the centre of the village the cottage forms part of a self-contained group of thatched cottages (including 12400203 - 4, 6/KK-02-03 - 4, 6) enhancing the aesthetic appeal of Clogh.
