Field Visit (28 August 2014)
NL 95459 47079 19th century cottage with adjoining byre to the north, both listed as having a ‘thatched piended roof’. The roofs of both the cottage and barn are thatched in marram, each with a continuous marram ridge. Both roofs have been completely netted, including across the ridge, which has been weighted down with stones and thin ropes just above the wallheads and openings, and down the sides of the chimney stacks of the cottage. Turf has been placed upon the wallheads around part of the cottage and barn, whilst some parts of the wallheads have been left exposed. The notes of the listing entry record that the ‘cottage [was] modernised in 1982’ and the barn was ‘restored in traditional fashion in 1985’.
