  Description

  Rectangular house (max. ext. dims 18m by 6m), two storeys high, constructed of mud walls faced with stone; it has two chimneys and a half-hipped roof thatched with barley straw. The front faces ENE and has two bays (Wth c. 2.1m, D c. 0.65m), one of which has a doorway and the other a window.

There are four rectangular sash windows at ground-floor level at the front of the house and two at the rear. The upper storey has three at the front and one at the rear. A centrally-placed staircase rises to the first floor and a loft over. A shed was attached to the S gable at the a later date and a back door with porch at the S end of the wall. The above description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
