Ballagawne Cottage, Rushen

Archaeology

There is a complex of stone walled two storey cottages and farm buildings with slate roofs deployed around a courtyard as a continuous 'U' shaped terrace. The example photographed is typical of the plain treatment of rectangular openings in the facades - however it is the only part of the structure to have been renovated at this time. The balance of the buildings appear to be derelict but about to be up-graded in the same manner. No interior inspection has been made. There is no known historical background to this complex opposite Ballagawane House. Although the courtyard constitutes an attractive environment this would not seem to be sufficient grounds to list the grouping for preservation particularly since renovation rather than demolition seems to be the intent of the owners. Certainly individual buildings have no visible distinction.
