What is recorded here
Attached rectangular-plan three-walled handball alley, built c. 1900, with rear wall facing south, and recently constructed sports centre attached to east wall. Rubble stone walls, partially rendered to interior, with render coping to east and west walls.
Traditional vernacular structures, three-walled handball allies are found all over the country, but rarely in such a prominent position on a main street. Still in use today it is an example of one of few forms characteristic of Ireland. It creates a visual and social focal point to the south end of the village.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
