Appraisal
This modest, simple building retains much of its original form, including features of note such as the chamfered corner and limestone arch to rear. The building has close associations with the Desmond Castle and may perhaps have served as a gate lodge to the site. The building retains features typical of eighteenth-century domestic architecture including gable-ended chimneystacks and small window openings.
