Appraisal
These outbuildings retain much notable fabric, and their scale and form are typical of buildings of the era. They enhance and contextualise Gortnamona House, their extent providing an indication of the wealth and prosperity of the one-time residents. They form part of an interesting small demesne group with Gortnamona House and the site entrance.
