Summary

This is the site of a pre-Union parish poorhouse. It may have been demolished around 1830 when it no longer appears on old maps. The school was built on the site in the 1830s and more housing was constructed in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Part of the walls which still stand 1.8m high in some places may have been built at the same time as the workhouse. A boiler was excavated from the site in 2003. This may have belonged to the workhouse.
