Appraisal
This house was built as one of a pair with its neighbour to the north. It retains interesting features, such as the sash windows with exposed cases. This modest building is full of character and plays a positive role in the built heritage of Carlingford. The building also has historical significance as it was the birthplace of Lorcan O'Muiceadonig, a priest and scholar.
