Appraisal
A collection of agricultural outbuilding ranges with one range composed about a courtyard contributing to the group and setting values of the Clonmore House estate while attesting to the various services put in place to facilitate the operation of a substantial rural landholding. Each range having been reasonably well maintained to present an early aspect with the essential composition attributes in place together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric the complex makes a pleasing impression on the character of the locality.
