What is recorded here

This detached three-bay, two-storey dwelling is a former vicarage and dates to c.1675 (see www.buildingsofireland reg. no. 11343004). It has a projecting two-bay, two-storey block attached to the right-hand side. There is a gable-fronted wing, possibly a former chapel, attached to the left-hand side. A three-bay, single-storey return with half-dormer attic was added to the rear c.1750 and a five-bay two-storey former coach house was added c.1875. The house was extensively renovated c. 1997 and converted to apartments. A number of burials were recovered in the course of the renovations which pre-date the construction of the vicarage (see DU011-034018-).
