Appraisal
This house forms an important element of the vernacular heritage of West Limerick, as identified by features such as the low massing and thatched roof. Reasonably well maintained, the cottage presents an early aspect with much of the original form intact, despite additions. The house remains an attractive feature in the village of Kildimo.
