Detached six-bay double-height barn, c.1850, with two-bay double-height side elevations, and eight-bay double-height rear (north) elevation having series of eight square-headed openings forming open arcade. Hipped slate roof (on exposed timber roof construction) with clay ridge tiles, and remains of cast-iron rainwater goods on overhanging timber eaves. Unpainted rendered, ruled and lined walls over random rubble stone construction with cut-stone quoins to corners, and cut-stone shield plaques. Round-headed blind openings with cut-limestone sills, and moulded rendered surrounds. Series of eight square-headed openings to rear (north) elevation forming open arcade on cast-iron pillars. Set back from road in shared grounds.

A middle-size agricultural outbuilding displaying a formal Classical theme despite the wholly utilitarian purpose of the site: the balanced symmetrical arrangement of blind openings identifies the architectural design value of the composition while refined dressings further enhance the external expression of the building. Possibly originally having associations with the Clifden (Gowran Castle) estate the outbuilding survives as an appealing feature contributing positively to the scenic value of the local landscape.
