Ballygunner Castle Ballygunner Co Waterford Ireland Details NIAH Ref: 22901816 Date: 1650 - 1700 Rating: National Orig. Use: House Townland: Ballygunnercastle County: Waterford More Info: Click Here Last Reviewed: August 2019 Criteria for Risk Vacant with no identified new use Suffering from neglect and/or poor maintenance Assessment Condition of Structure: Poor Level of Risk: High Appraisal This building has been vacant for a number of years and does not appear to be maintained. Most of the external fabric remains, but there are obvious signs of deterioration, particularly water penetration, slipped slates and vegetation growth. There is no immediate danger of collapse but the condition is such that unless urgent remedial works are carried out the building will sharply deteriorate. The country house is on the site of an earlier medieval castle. The building is rated as being of national importance in the National Inventory Architectural Heritage due to the ‘massing of the house, together with the informal arrangement of the openings' which is considered to resemble the earlier castle. This building urgently requires new uses to be identified to prevent further deterioration of its character. Recommended Use Residential Photograph Credit: Mike Searle Manage Cookie Preferences
