Range of 1-storey, 3-bay houses (long axis N-S) with 2-storey, 3-bay gabled house at S end; all brick built. Brick walls of other structures adjacent to S end. Further S is an overgrown E elevation of structure (H 2.5m) with three brick arched opes (H 0.6m; Wth 0.45m; D1m) at base. Pond to E also remains. Established in late 1850s; closed c. 1863 but reopened in 1837; finally closed c. 1914 (Cadogan 1988). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
