Scope and Content Single storey cottage built in 1908 and listed as having a ‘muran thatch roof, secured with ropes and stone weights’. The cottage has been renovated and is now used as holiday accomodation. There is also a small outbuilding to the north, and both buildings are thatched in marram with a continuous marram ridge. The thatch on both buildings has been netted, weighted down along the eaves with stones secured to the netting by string. On the cottage, the string of stones continues around the edge of the chimney stacks at either gable end.
