Description
Section of dry stone field/boundary wall, erected c. 1800. Constructed of roughly coursed random rubble stone having vertical limestone coping over. Located adjacent to road, to the north of Granard.
Appraisal
An attractive and well-executed dry stone wall exhibiting the fine craftsmanship of vernacular building. The survival of walls of this construction is increasingly rare in the Irish countryside, making this a rare surviving example of a once ubiquitous type. It adds visual appeal to its rural location, and is a worthy, if unassuming, addition to the built heritage of the local area.
