The designation of the building as both eighteenth and nineteenth century suggests it may belong to that transitional moment, built or substantially altered as architectural fashions and agricultural ambitions changed across the western counties.

Lisbeg itself is a small townland in Galway, and houses of this era in such locations were often connected to middlemen or minor gentry, sometimes replacing earlier thatched dwellings on the same ground. The eighteenth and nineteenth century period classification is commonly applied to buildings that show evidence of planned construction, such as regular fenestration or dressed stonework, distinguishing them from the more improvised rural housing that preceded them. Without more detailed records currently available for this particular structure, the specifics of who built it, who occupied it, and how it was used remain unconfirmed.
