Bushfield, farmyard complex in County Mayo

What is recorded here

Bushfield gave its horses a symmetrical two-storey stable with matching doors, so even being put out to stud must have felt like a sideways move. You’d want references before letting a donkey in.

Farmyard complex, extant 1838, including (west): Detached two-bay two-storey stable outbuilding[?] on a symmetrical plan. Now disused. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, and cast-iron rainwater goods on cut-limestone eaves retaining cast-iron downpipe. Part ivy-covered coursed rubble limestone walls on battered base with hammered limestone flush quoins to corners. Pair of square-headed central door openings with hammered limestone lintels framing timber boarded doors. Square-headed window openings with hammered limestone voussoirs (ground floor) or hammered limestone lintels (first floor) framing remains of timber fittings. Set in unkempt grounds shared with Bushfield.

A farmyard complex contributing positively to the group and setting values of the Bushfield estate.
