Project 1
Tom O’Neill farms just outside of Castletownroche in north Cork. He is a participant in GLAS and was therefore eligible to apply to the Heritage Council for the Traditional Farm Buildings Grant (TFBG), funded by the Department of Agriculture, to repair an old stone building in the farmyard.
Project 1: The tower section required remedial work to the stonework and the lft section.
The building was built in the 1740s and forms part of an old courtyard complex, which is present on the 6in historic maps. Two of the buildings within the farmyard complex are recorded on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage and on the SMR maps in Cork.
