Three ranges of outbuildings to north-east with rubble limestone and clay walls, corrugated-iron roofs and square-headed openings.
Appraisal
This farmhouse is an interesting example of the Irish vernacular building tradition. Readily available local materials such as clay, limestone and thatch were originally used to construct and roof the house and outbuildings. The house and related outbuildings make a positive contribution to the roadside and the surrounding area.
