What is recorded here

Rubble limestone wall, built c. 1850, to each side of Oliver Plunkett Hill and side streets, and retaining higher footpath level. Surmounted by cast-iron railings and having dressed and tooled limestone coping to some sections. Rendered to some sections and having cut limestone steps.

Constructed during the Great Famine, these walls were built as a relief scheme to provide employment. Their regular and flush elevations enhance and add continuity to the terraced streetscape, and their survival and intact condition are a testament to the fine stone craft involved in its construction. This also shows in the tooled coping and cut limestone steps. Similar schemes were undertaken at Richmond Hill and Ardán Chnuic Mhic Dhonnchadha. They are notable features in the Fermoy townscape.
