What is recorded here

Outbuilding in Newtown Monasterboice is a modest name for five separate sheds lined up on opposite sides of the road. It looks as though one shed inherited the good shovel and the others haven’t spoken to it since.

Group of five detached single-storey outbuildings, built c. 1780. Rectangular-plans. Pitched corrugated-iron roofs, verge copings. Rubble stone walling, main elevations whitewashed. Loop windows, stone lintels. Square-headed door openings, painted timber vertically-sheeted doors, some timber lintels. Set to north and south sides of road, thatched house to north.
This extensive linear arrangement of rubble stone outbuildings represents the vernacular building tradition of the indigenous population and is of special architectural and social interest.
