A high level of architectural design is apparent in the form and detailing of Dunsany Castle stable courtyard. The entrance elevation is constructed with breakfronted and canted bays, while the form is articulated by the masonry dressings, which add textural variation to the building. The materials uses in the construction of the group are well finished, and the stable courtyard was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen. This stable courtyard forms part of a group of demesne related structures, with Dunsany Castle, outbuildings, church and gate lodges.
