Field Visit (27 August 2014)
NL 98509 41463 Listed building description reads ‘19th century traditional single storey cottage 3 bays with centre door. White-washed rubble with square angles, wide eaves (“tobhta”): gable end stacks: piended green felt roof’, however, the notes section states ‘felt replaces thatch’. This confirms that there was once thatch on this building, however, web-based satellite imagery confirms there is no longer any thatch left. The building has been on the Buildings at Risk (BAR) Register since 2009 (BAR reference number 3894) and site visits by BAR note that the roof structure and felt was removed at some point between visits in 2008 and 2012. No photographs were recorded during this visit.
