One of many round stone cottages along the road.
These are on private property and not accessible for “free”…
The stones are dry laid (no cement)
and each stone is angled to allow water to drain away from the building

The HUGE building in the centre of the picture used to belong to The Cranberries.
It is now owned by BMG Music.
