What is recorded here
Detached four-bay three-storey barn, built c.1860, similar to storage buildings associated with corn mills. Pitched slate roof. Coursed rubble limestone walls. Slightly camber-headed openings, those to top floor being slit vents, those to lower floors being square and some having bars. Doors to front elevation have camber arches with roughly dressed voussoirs and timber battened doors, and south-east gable has square-headed pitching doors to upper floors and round-headed vehicular entrance to ground floor. Rear elevation lacks doorways.
This building type is relatively rare in Ireland. The form suggests a watermill or storage building associated with same, and the variety of openings is interesting and the structure well constructed.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
