Place & story
A school in Mausrevagh
The former Kilcoona National School stands in Mausrevagh, a townland within Kilcoona civil parish. In an account published on 1 January 2015, Enda O Flaherty described a single-storey building with two classrooms and a projecting front entrance porch. His observations concern the old schoolhouse, rather than the present school. [2] [3]
Fireplaces and a changed use
O Flaherty recorded an open fireplace in each classroom, served by a centrally positioned chimney. He found the building being used for storage, with some interior fittings damaged and the rear toilet blocks largely collapsed. These are observations from his 2015 account, rather than a claim about the building’s condition today. [2]
