Appraisal
This former railway worker's cottage located at a level crossing on the Sligo, Leitrim and North Counties Railway line is a good example of the type of dwelling built by the railways along their lines to house workers at level crossings and stations. The house retains many original features including interior features. The cottage is in poor condition now but was occupied until c.1992.
