Place & story

The lobby-entry farmhouse

The architectural inventory records this Raheen farmhouse as standing by 1839. Its low rectangular plan has an entrance set off-centre, protected by a projecting windbreak. Roughcast walls taper outwards towards their base, with timber lintels above the windows and a boarded entrance door. The survey also records adjoining outbuildings as present by 1839, forming a compact group with the house. [2]
