Why it mattered
Nirevale — Ballymacarbry matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A well-proportioned outbuilding that has been well maintained to present and original aspect and which forms an integral component of a substantially-intact middle-size farm holding. Of particular interest are the lattice panels to some window openings, which enhance the architectural appeal of the composition. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
