Place & story

Domestic and estate buildings

Toonagh House in Clooney parish is dated to about 1800 by the architectural inventory. The four-bay, two-storey building has a slate roof and roughcast walls, with rendered details around its corners and openings. The inventory also records a small ruined stone outbuilding and a single-arched bridge over a stream. Dressed stones form the bridge’s arch, with pyramidal coping stones above. [2]
