## Architectural heritage (National Inventory of Architectural Heritage)

- Clarecastle Barracks, barracks, 1745–1755, Regional interest, registry number 20404108, https://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=CL&regno=20404108. Barracks, built 1748-51, including (north): Pair of semi-detached five-bay three-storey officers' quarters blockhouses on rectangular plans. Vacated, 1890. In alternative use, 1901-5. Derelict, 1997. Pitched slate roof on strutted King post construction with terracotta ridge tiles, cut-limestone coping to gables with red brick Running bond chimney stacks to apexes having cut-limestone stepped capping supporting crested terracotta pots, and remains of cast-iron rainwater goods on cut-limestone eaves with cast-iron octagonal hoppers and downpipes. Part ivy-covered coursed rubble limestone walls retaining sections of lime rendered surface finish with tooled cut-limestone flush quoins to corners; remains of slate hung surface finish (side elevations). Pair of segmental-headed central door openings with overgrown thresholds, timber mullions supporting timber transoms with ogee-detailed cornices, and red brick voussoirs centred on applied cut-limestone keystones framing timber panelled doors having sidelights below fanlights. Square-headed window openings in camber-headed recesses with cut-limestone sills, and red brick block-and-start surrounds framing six-over-six timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Set in unkempt grounds. NOTE: The timeline for the phased development of Clarecastle Barracks is unclear. Major General William Roy (1726-90) visited Ireland in 1766 and, commenting on Clarecastle Barracks, described 'a fine ten bay structure, three storey in height, with brick reveals and flat arches to the large double-hung sash windows'. This description matches the officers' quarters blockhouses, however, they are conspicuously absent from contemporary illustrations including "Clare Castle Co. Clare" (1794) by Charles Vallancey (1731-1812) of Dublin [NLI Coo 2122 TX (2) 53]. The "Return from each Barrack in the United Kingdom relative to Date of Erection, Materials, &c." (1847) gives 1826 as the date of construction of Clarecastle Barracks (Accounts and Papers 1847 XXXVI, 82) and it is possible the work saw the reuse of fabric of earlier buildings on site as a recently discovered beam carries the inscription "12 December 1751" (Shaw 2012, 15-6).

- Radon: at the centre of the townland of Skehanagh, about 1 in 5 homes in this area is likely to have high radon levels. Testing a home: https://www.epa.ie/environment-and-you/radon/radon-testing/#d.en.82887
- Landslides: The 1:50,000 map rates the landslide susceptibility here as low, partly inferred.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
