Place & story
Sites recorded before modern development
The 1998 Record of Monuments and Places lists two sites in Curraheen, Ballymurreen parish: an enclosure and a moated site, numbered TN047-092 and TN047-093. Their inclusion records archaeological interest within the townland; the catalogue alone supplies neither an excavation history nor a secure construction date. [2]
An inn on the mail route
The Horse and Jockey Hotel’s own history traces the crossroads business to a cabin used by travellers on the mail route. It recounts horses being watered here before a licensed inn developed. This is the establishment’s account of its origins, rather than a surviving eighteenth-century business register. [3]
Stonework and ironwork at the station
The former Horse and Jockey station preserves a stone-faced platform and a verandah carried on cast-iron supports. The architectural inventory describes rubble limestone walls, dressed stone quoins, brick window surrounds and decorative timber bargeboards. Its single-storey station accommodation and two-storey residential portion were enlarged while retaining similar architectural detailing. [4]
