Appraisal
A picturesque small-scale range forming a pleasant feature in the townscape of Kells: the construction in unrefined rubble stone work represents a characteristic shared in common with a number of buildings in the immediate locality, thereby serving to integrate the site pleasantly into the surrounding landscape.
