What is recorded here

Pair of freestanding mass-concrete handball alleys, c.1925. Unpainted mass-concrete walls incorporating section of random rubble stone wall to north-east forming part of boundary wall, and rendered rounded coping having iron posts with iron mesh panels. Set perpendicular to road.

A pair of handball alleys representing an element of the cultural nation-building of the early Irish Republic while forming part of the vernacular heritage of County Kilkenny on account of the status as a building type indigenous to Ireland. Positioned overlooking the River Nore the handball alleys form a distinctive feature of almost Brutalist quality in the townscape.
