Castlenalact Hall

Detached T-plan gable-fronted former school, dated 1864, with flat-roofed extension to rear (east). Now in use as hall. Hipped slate roof with limestone coping to gable front, rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughly dressed sandstone walls, dressed quoins and carved limestone date plaque to front (west) elevation. Square-headed window openings with red brick block-and-start surrounds and limestone sills to fixed nine-pane timber-framed windows to side (north) elevation and uPVC casement windows elsewhere. Square-headed door opening with redbrick voussoirs and uPVC door having rendered steps. Square-profile rubble stone gate piers with render coping and rubble stone boundary wall.

This purpose-built rural national school maintains the integrity of its composition through the retention of its historic form and much of its historic fabric such as a fine slate roof, timber-framed windows and a limestone date plaque. In addition to the architectural interest, this small school was of social importance to the local community in the past.
