Can you visit Claragh?

When was Claragh built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1880–1900.
Is Claragh protected?
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.
