Appraisal

Though now concreted, these steps form part of an interesting group with similar nineteenth-century paving schemes. Steps such as these are found in many location throughout the city, and contribute to the unique character of Cork city. These paving schemes utilised cut limestone, which in many cases has been replaced or covered with concrete.
