Historical Information

Although a building is shown at this spot on the 1835 map, it is uncertain whether it is the present one. The existing building is more likely to be of mid 19th century date as it is shown on the 1862 map and its rateable valuation (10 shillings) does not change thereafter. Primary sources: 1. OS 6” map, 1st edition, Co Armagh sheet 29 (PRONI OS 6/2/29/1). 2. OS 6” map, 2nd edition, Co Armagh sheet 29 (PRONI OS 6/2/29/2). 3. Second Valuation, Co Armagh, Newry Union (published 1864; MS dates from 1862). 4. Valuation Revision books (PRONI VAL 12B/15/15A-D).

Evaluation

A single-storey three-bay vernacular dwelling, with outbuilding to left gable. Its variations in height and contrasting roof materials provide a strong focal point within the surrounding landscape. However, it retains little of its original character and is not of special architectural or historic interest.
