The National Monuments Service's description

The Poitín Stíl, situated at the W end of Rathcoole village, close to the road to Naas, is reputedly dated to 1649. The bar is a two-storey, three bay building with an external chimney stack on the N gable. The roof is hipped and thatched with rye with first floor windows as dormers. In the mid-17th century Rathcoole is said to have contained many good houses (Ball 1902-20, 2, 123). The Down Survey (1655-6) map shows numerous dwellings at Rathcoole.
