Appraisal
The simple and regular form of this building is representative of the traditional architectural style employed throughout Castletownshend. The retention of historic features such as timber sash windows, stone sills and slate roof contribute much to its character. Having been in use as a public house since 1846, this site has played a significant role in the local social fabric.
