What is recorded here

Pair of handball alleys, built c.1935, with rendered dividing wall and buttresses to exterior elevations.
This structure stands as an important reminder of a past era when most towns and villages had a handball alley. Of social significance in a town, such structures are becoming increasingly rare in Ireland.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
