| Killeroran Holiday Home: The Structure |
| The 70 year-old, two-storey house is built on the site of the old, thatched residence, home to the Egan family, where they farmed for generations. The present structure is built of limestone, thus the thick walls. Slight internal renovations were carried out some years ago, with great care taken to maintain the old farmhouse features. |
