Place & story
A pair of houses
On Golf Links Road, in the southern part of Mornington townland near Bettystown, the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage records two thatched houses dating from about 1850. Each has a low, single-storey form and a projecting entrance porch. The survey notes timber sash windows and battened wooden doors. A boundary wall and two wrought-iron gates enclose their frontage.
