Somewhere within this townland stands a house dated to the eighteenth or nineteenth century, recorded as a monument in its own right, which places it among structures considered to have archaeological or historical significance rather than simply being old buildings that happen to survive.

Doogort and its surroundings carry a layered past. Achill Island was, for much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a place of subsistence farming and fishing, its population deeply affected by the repeated failures and pressures that preceded and followed the Great Famine of the 1840s. The nearby Slievemore deserted village, a long street of stone cottages running below the mountain, is among the more vivid records of that era on the island, though it represents only one thread of a much longer history of settlement in the area. A house from this period in Doogort would have been built in a vernacular tradition, likely using local stone, and would reflect the material conditions of rural life on the island's Atlantic edge during a period of considerable hardship and change. The precise details of this particular structure, its dimensions, current condition, and any documentary history attached to it, are not yet publicly available.
