What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey goods shed, built c.1880 by the Midland Great Western Railway as part of the Longford to Sligo line. Now in use as storage facility, with extension to south-east and north-west. Pitched corrugated roof with red brick chimneystack and oversailing eaves. Random coursed rock-faced limestone and sandstone walls. Tooled cut stone buttresses to façade. Tooled cut stone quoins and surrounds to openings and projecting plinth to rear. Segmental-headed window openings to façade now blocked with central entrance bay having modern shutters. Red brick to segmental arch. Oculus windows to rear and Diocletian windows to gables with red brick surrounds, now blocked up.
This former station goods shed, although now leased out for storage use, is an integral part of this railway complex. It is an attractive well-proportioned structure, further enhanced by the (now blocked up) combination of oculus, Diocletian and segmental-headed openings.
