What is recorded here

Freestanding handball alley, c.1875, on a U-shaped plan. Renovated, c.1925. Random rubble stone walls with unpainted replacement cement render, c.1925, to internal face having concrete coping. Road fronted.
A structure of some vernacular significance, being a building type indigenous to Ireland, this ball alley forms a striking feature of almost Brutalist quality in the streetscape of Church Lane.

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