What is recorded here

Detached four-bay two-storey former national school, built 1826, with canted end bays. Now in use as a retail outlet. Rendered walls. Hipped slate roof. Veranda to ground floor supported on cast-iron columns with cast-iron bases, set on limestone kerbs. Square-headed window openings with stone sills and dormer windows to first floor. Square-headed opening with timber battened doors.
This former girls school exhibits an interesting architectural design, and retains some of the original external features. The setting of the building is enhanced by the limestone kerbs which the veranda columns are set on. This former school was designed as part of the planned estate village of Moynalty in the 1820s, and is similar in execution and detailing to many of the buildings in the village. The boys school is located at the west end of the village.
