Photography courtesy of Dublin Civic Trust Appraisal A house identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of south County Mayo by such attributes as the rectilinear direct entry plan form; the construction in unrefined local fieldstone displaying a battered silhouette; the somewhat disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing; and the high pitched roof showing a replenished thatch finish. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
