Historical Information

The building is shown on the first edition OS map of 1833. However it is not included in the Townland Valuation as it is too low in value for inclusion. Griffith’s Valuation records three entries under the same plot reference, each is a ‘house and office’, valued at £0.10s. John, Peter & Henry Kelly are the occupiers and the property is leased from Sir John Stewart BT. Valuation Revisions only records two entries, the house occupied by Peter Kelly is valued at £1 in book A, and other than this no significant changes are recorded. References: Primary Sources 1.

Evaluation

A detached three-bay single-storey vernacular dwelling, built c.1820. The building is distinctly vernacular in style with simple construction and materials, built in stone with corrugated pitched roof, probably thatched originally. The attached outbuildings are also consistent in style and construction. However, it is of a relatively common type and detailing and is not among the best examples of a traditional rural dwelling.
