What is recorded here

Detached single-bay single-storey gable-fronted forge, dated 1873, on a rectangular plan. The forge is constructed in part ashlar and part rubble granite. The sheeted double front doors are set within a decorative horseshoe-shaped opening. Window openings are flat-headed with casement windows. The pitched roof is finished with natural slate. The forge is slightly set back from the road adjacent to Aughrim Bridge.
This is a well preserved late Victorian forge which, radically different from the typical terraced buildings in Aughrim, adds variety and interest to the townscape.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
