Appraisal
This pair of rubble stone outbuildings, although in fair condition, retain most of their original form and present an early aspect. An integral component of the Liffey Bank (House) complex, the outbuildings extend the line of the building complex with roof pitches raised to reflect the incline of the hill to north. The outbuildings retain early features and materials, including lime render to the walls surfaces, timber fittings to openings and slate roofs having remains of cast-iron rainwater goods.
