Appraisal
The remains of Cloganmore House retain many intriguing architectural elements. The castellated parapet and slit windows on the projecting tower to the front elevation of the farmhouse suggest a defensive house, but the scale of the structure implies otherwise. The finely tooled limestone door surround and decorative overlight are notable features and contribute to the architectural significance of the structure.
