Farmyard complex in Hawkinstown

Farmyard complex, comprising of single- and two-storey outbuildings, built c.1820. Pitched corrugated-iron roofs. Roughcast rendered and stone walls. Timber sash and cast-iron windows. Timber battened doors. Pairs of cast-iron gates to sites.

This group of outbuildings are representative of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. Though the corrugated-iron is replacement, the material is traditional and compliments the original rubble stone construction. The timber sash and cast-iron windows are interesting features of the group. The roadside setting of the group is enhanced by the retention of the pairs of cast-iron double gates.
