Appraisal
This complex of vernacular buildings is situated on the roadway south of the small village of Killanny. The construction methods used are typical of vernacular buildings with white-washed random rubble walling and corrugated-iron roofing where once thatch was found. The small window openings retain their sashes and the whole complex of outbuildings and yarded area add to this attractive grouping which is becoming an increasingly rare site throughout Ireland and contributes to the architectural heritage of the area.
