Appraisal
This block forms part of the east side of the quadrangle at Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa and is similar in scale and detailing to the other structures. The variety of window and door openings adds interest and the quality of the stone masonry is testament to the skills of nineteenth-century craftsmen.
