- An Old Farm House
Moloney's house Moncrea is a very old house according to the present occupiers although they could give me no idea of the number of years it is built. It is built facing the road and about 25 feet from it, The walls are made of mud with stones through it just as stones are put into concrete walls. William Maloney told me he discovered this when enlarging door going into room. No "coursing" in stones.
