Exterior Description And Setting

A two-storey/ three-bay vernacular farmhouse aligned NW-SE set to the E of Killycarnan Bridge (HB12/02/064). Accessed by random rubble gate piers supporting a wrought-iron gate. Pitched artificial slate roof with two wet-dashed brick chimneys – one between each bay. Advanced eaves course supports half-round metal rainwater goods. Principal elevation faces NE. Walls are wet-dashed random rubble. All ground floor windows are 2/2 (horizontally divided) sliding sashes and those to first floor are 1/1 sashes; all with horns and painted stone cills. Set to the right of centre bay is a glazed timber door with narrow sidelights and transom; to its left is a window. Set above to first floor, between these openings, is a window. Left and right bays have a window to each floor, those to upper floors are diminished in height. Left gable has a 2/2 sliding sash window without cill to first floor centre. Rear elevation is abutted by a single-storey lean-to addition set to right of centre (see later). To its left and right is a modern timber casement window to centre bay and right bays respectively. Left bay has a top-hung timber window with concrete cill. First floor of this bay has a central 1/1 sliding sash window. The addition has a t+g sheeted door to its left cheek and a boarded window opening to its rear face. The right cheek is blank. The right gable has a small 1/1 exposed box sliding sash window to first floor centre. To the NW is a single-storey outbuilding aligned NE-SW with pitched corrugated metal roof and lime washed random rubble walls.

Historical Information

A building is shown at this location on the 1834 OS 6" map. However, it is not cited in the first Valuation book, indicating that it was a small one-storey vernacular house. By 1862 it was occupied by John Rodden and was valued at £2.5s.0d. Unfortunately the manuscript version of the second Valuation book does not detail the building’s dimensions. Primary sources: 1. OS 6" map, 1st edition (1834), Co Fermanagh sheet 40 (PRONI OS 6/4/40/1). 2. Second Valuation book, Galloon Parish, Clones Union, 1860 (PRONI VAL 2B/4/7A, p.51). 3. Valuation revision books, 1866-1929.
