What is recorded here

Read the whole record

U-plan yard of farm buildings, built c.1840, having multiple-bay two-storey stable block. Remains of pitched slate roof with limestone eaves course and coursed rubble limestone walls. Rear wall, which faces public road, has only ventilation slits. Yard elevation has square-headed window openings to first and ground floors, and segmental-arch vehicular arches to ground floor with dressed voussoirs. Entrance archway to yard has oculus above with raised surround, set within square frame.

Though ruinous, this well-appointed former stableyard has stonework and detailing of impressive quality. The multiple vehicular arches indicate the wealth of the former Clonbern House, as do details such as the oculus over the main entrance.
