Activities

Field Visit (19 February 2015)

NT 81944 27921 Early to mid 18th century two storey block comprising two cottages. The building has a steeply-pitched reed-thatched roof with a turf ridge. The thatch is fairly shallow and is lower than the height of the skews. The surface of the thatch has a large amount of mossy vegetation growth throughout. The turf ridge, which is continued below the three chimney stacks at a lower level, is netted, whilst the rest of the thatch is left uncovered. The turf has slightly grown through the netting at the ridge, however, it is in a good condition otherwise and remains intact. The building is located directly opposite another thatched cottage (Rose Cottage) and in close proximity to other thatched properties in the same village.
