Kirk Bride Cottage, Thatched

Archaeology

This small rectangular cottage is constructed of stone cement rendered with a thatched roof (rushes from the Ayres). Set at right angles to the road the structure is somewhat renovated. But it has the original rectangular windows on either side of the single front door. There is a minor extension to the east with a slate roof and another door. No interior inspection has been performed. The cottage appears in good repair. This cottage is situated within a hundred metres of another of similar type. Having two such examples of the few remaining buildings of this early rural workers dwelling close together and adjacent to a public road lends weight to their importance.
