Court houses were built in many towns throughout Ireland during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by the Grand Juries. This impressive building occupies a prominent site leading onto the Main Street of Manorhamilton and is one of the most notable buildings within the town. The well-executed stonework enhances the architectural form of the building.
