The National Monuments Service's description
On S side of Sheares' Street; brick-built 12-bay, 3-storey terrace; shallow reveals to windows; ground floor occupied by small shop units. Recently described as 'probably the oldest surviving terrace of houses in Ireland, 2-5 Sheares Street is virtually unaltered since the mid 18th-century... the buildings contain some rare examples of early Georgian interiors' (Anon 1992). In residential use but recently put up for sale.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
