Exterior Description And Setting

The main house is situated a short distance to the west of the Diamond crossroads, site of the battle that took place in 1795 resulting in the founding of the Orange Order. The Diamond lies about five miles to the south of Junction 13 of the M1 Motorway travelling in a south-easterly direction towards Kilmore and Stonebridge. The buildings that form part of the farm enclose the yard on the north-west side. They comprise two compartments with former use as a stable and a byre. A single storey block with corrugated iron covered roof, metal rainwater goods, with the gutter on drive-in hooks at the front and with a plastic gutter at the rear. The walls are roughcast at the front and at the sides with plain bases and the plastered finish at the rear has become detached in places revealing the stone construction with mud construction above. The door that gives access to the stable is of a single timber ledged and sheeted variety extending about three-quarters in height. The double doors of similar construction to the byre are full height. A timber sheeted door at the rear of the byre is faced externally with galvanised steel sheeting

Historical Information

The house and a range of outbuildings extending towards the road are shown on the 1834-35 Ordnance Map. The date of the house has been determined as about 1720 by dendrochronology tests carried out by Queens University, Belfast in 2000. The 1862 Ordnance Map shows the house in elongated form and the outbuildings are curtailed in length to correspond with the existing situation. It is assumed that the building shown on the 1834-35 Ordnance map had a bay removed to give assess to the fields beyond. The owner has been able to offer a date of about 1920 for the application of the corrugated iron over the thatch References – Primary Sources 1. PRONI VAL/1A/2/9, OS map, 1st edition 1834-35, Co.

Evaluation

A single storey, two unit outbuilding situated a short distance from the main house. (HB15/02/057B.) It has a corrugated iron roof covering over remains of thatch. The roof structures retain the early traditional forms that do not rely on the use of scraws and scallops to secure the thatch. The use of mud walling is in evidence, similar to the form of construction used on the main house.
