Historical information
Building shown at this location on 1834 OS 6” map.
The original survey card states that on this site is “A small harled and whitened thatched cottage with one gable rising to a chimney stack. The entrance is flanked by two cross paned windows. There is a corrugated iron roofed lean-to on gable.” The record slide, also of this date, shows the entrance to be a sheeted half door. To its left is a large exposed box 2/2 sliding sash with horns, and to right a small four paned fixed window. Both windows have painted stone cills.

Evaluation
This humble structure was of interest previously because of its thatch and is now much altered. Although retaining its four walls and plan, it has no other features of interest.
