Liss Cottage, outbuilding in County Meath

What is recorded here

Liss Cottage in Oldcastle has a farm outbuilding with grand stone carriage arches and narrow ventilation slits. From a distance you’d prepare for a siege. Then a wheelbarrow comes out and the whole military situation looks different.

Four-bay single-storey stone farm outbuilding, built c.1860, with segmental-arched chamfered limestone integral carriage arches, ventilation loops, and pitched slate roof. Three-bay single storey stone outbuilding to site. Multiple-bay single-storey stone outbuilding with pitched corrugated-iron roof to site. Barrel roofed corrugated-iron hay barn to site.

This is a very fine example of a stone outbuilding, with well executed stone detailing to the openings. Together with the other two original stone outbuildings and the corrugated-iron hay barn, an interesting group of farm buildings is formed.
