Why it mattered

Dunsandle — CARROWREVAGH matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A gate lodge built by Denis St. George Daly (1810-93) to designs by Samuel Ussher Roberts (1821-1900). The commanding breakfront brings dramatic visual impact to an otherwise small-scale composition while the chiselled limestone dressings demonstrate the skill of the masons employed on the project. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
