The National Monuments Service's description
The ruins of a stone-built house on N side of Gaol Lane which is indicated on the Urban Survey map (Bradley 1989) but is not described in the text. It appears to have had chamfered limestone jambs for window opes at first floor level and therefore could be late medieval in date (Denis Power 18th August 2011).
See attached location map from urban Survey showing building in red outline.
