Place & story

Raheen House

Raheen House in Killeenagarriff parish dates from around 1810. Its four-bay front has timber sash windows with limestone sills, including paired windows on the ground floor. The architectural inventory notes an external chimney flue on the gable as an early feature. A single-storey lean-to extends along the rear, while limestone gate piers mark the approach from the northeast. [2]
