Scope and Content Listed building description reads ‘Earlier 19th century, single storey irregular 3-bay cottage, now forming rear wing to Monaliadh [...] corrugated iron roof covers surviving thatch’. The current owners, who live in the adjoining building (the house is called Monaliadh which is of later 19th century origin as the rear wing and not included in the same listing), have owned the building for approximately three years. In this time, it has remained in use as a shed/store. The corrugated iron roof is still in place over the surviving thatch, which is thought to be a mixture of bracken and heather. Evidence from internally and from underneath the eaves externally would support this The exact condition of the thatch is unknown, as is the thatching technique or the construction and material of the ridge (if this still exists).
