Description
Complex of single and two-storey outbuildings on L-shaped plan, originally built c.1820 and extended c.1860. Originally served Ballinacloon/Ballynaclonagh House, now demolished. Now forms part of an agricultural outbuildings/farmyard complex. Constructed of rubble limestone with pitched natural slate roofs. Cast-iron water storage tank to site. Located to the northwest of Multyfarnham with modern farm buildings to the southeast and to the north.
Appraisal
An appealing and well-built complex of outbuildings which retains their early form, character and a great deal of their early fabric. This complex of outbuildings originally served Ballinacloon/Ballynaclonagh House, which was sited adjacent to the east of east and was demolished, along with a number of the early outbuildings, c.1930. This modest complex now acts as an historical reminder of this former country estate and is a interesting feature, of architectural merit, in the rural countryside to the northwest of Multyfarnham. Ballinacloon was the residence of a P. E. Murphy, Esq., in 1837.
