What is recorded here

Farmyard complex, built c. 1780, comprising L-plan two-storey outbuilding immediately north of Clonmult House having six-bay east elevation, running north-south, and three-bay return to north end of east elevation. Three-bay two-storey outbuilding, running north-south, to north of L-plan building, attached on its west side to stone structure with pitched corrugated-iron roof. Connecting range formed by single storey structure having flat-roofed corrugated-iron open-sided structure attached. East side of yard defined by ten-bay single-storey ruinous remains of rubble stone outbuilding. Single-storey extension to L-plan building with single-pitch roof against yard wall to south gable and cast-iron external staircase to east elevation. Pitched slate roofs, hipped to north-west corner, and with corrugated-iron to north pitch. Rendered rubble stone walls, with square-headed window and door openings and segmental-arched carriage arch with brick voussoirs. Segmental-arched carriage arch to south gable to outbuildings to north, with roughly dressed stone voussoirs.

The simple form of these structures reflect the utilitarian nature of their function. They create a pleasing architectural group with Clonmult House. Corrugated-iron replaced thatch as a vernacular material, and adds interesting texture and colour to these agricultural buildings. Steeply pitched roofs and simply finished gables are typical of the vernacular tradition.
