It was catalogued in 1996 as a seventeenth-century structure, yet the building itself appears to belong to the eighteenth or nineteenth century. That gap of a hundred years or more between the listed date and the probable date of construction is the kind of quiet discrepancy that tends to point toward something older underneath or nearby, a earlier phase of occupation on the same elevated ground that the surviving house later replaced or absorbed.

The house occupies a high, commanding position in the landscape, which is itself a detail worth pausing on. In the Irish countryside, a site chosen for its long sightlines usually carries some history of deliberate selection, whether for defence, for the management of land, or simply for the social signalling that a prominently placed residence could provide to those below. A two-storey vernacular or semi-formal house of the eighteenth or nineteenth century set on such ground suggests a household of some local standing, though the notes do not supply names or a more precise construction date to confirm this.
