About The Forge
The National Inventory rates The Forge Regional, one of 20 in Geashill. Its record dates The Forge to 1850–1890.
This attractive forge, commonly erected in the nineteenth century, still punctuates the landscape of Ireland. This example retains its original form and features, the most impressive of which is the horseshoe-shaped gable opening which gives it a certain architectural distinctiveness.

Yes: rated Regional (record 14814015).
Can you visit The Forge?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was The Forge built?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
