Remains of cast-iron rainwater goods. Lime rendered walls over rubble stone construction. Unpainted. Iron tie bars. Square-headed openings. Stone sills. Timber lintels.

This group of terraced cottages is of considerable social and historic interest, representing the small-scale dwellings of the majority of the population of Castledermot in the early nineteenth century – it is also possible that the cottages were built as part of a scheme that may have included an earlier warehouse or industrial building to left (west; 11823016/KD-40-23-16). Now disused and in an advanced state of dereliction, the cottages nevertheless retain most of their original form and remain an attractive and picturesque feature on the streetscape of Keenans Lane.

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