Appraisal
An appealing pair of worker's houses, which retain their early form and character. Well-built using good quality local limestone, these cottages have a rustic and picturesque appearance. These houses are the best surviving examples of a number of worker's houses in the locality associated with the former Ballynegall Demesne (15401212). Forms part of an important group of structure associated with this demesne, including the remains of the main house (15401212), the outbuildings (15401213) and the main gate lodge (15401214).
