What is recorded here

Freestanding square-profile red brick chimney, built c. 1850, formerly part of Youghal Brick Works complex, now disused. Tapering to upper section and with moulded stringcourse and chamfered cowling.

Tall chimney visible from a considerable distance. Brings architectural interest to the landscape. Provides a visual reminder of the old brick works in production until the 1930's. Remarkably complete and showing evidence of craftsmanship and skilled engineering.
