The Ordnance Survey's Fair Plan map of Fethard used that blue line to flag structures of notable age, and this one received the treatment, with a heavier stroke along its southern wall, as though the draughtsman wanted to emphasise that particular edge. It is a quiet kind of distinction, the sort that gets noticed only if you know what the colouring means.

By the time historian P.J. O'Keeffe was writing in 1995, the building's seventeenth-century origins were well enough recognised that its appearance on the 1840 map was worth citing as corroborating evidence of its age. What the map recorded, however, did not survive intact into the twenty-first century. The eastern portion of the structure, which had continued to function as a two-storey house, was demolished in 1994 and replaced by a new two-bay two-storey house, set back from the original street line. The western portion was not built on at all and is now open green space. The result is one of those streetscape moments where a gap and a modest modern building together occupy the footprint of something considerably older.
