What is recorded here

The Farmyard complex in Thomastown sits beside Sweetman’s Castle with a corrugated-iron rolling door. The castle gets to suggest sieges and noble blood; the farmyard looks like it knows where the nobles bought their second-hand mower.
Farmyard complex, extant 1839, including: Attached six-bay two-storey outbuilding on a rectangular plan originally three-bay two-storey. Now disused. Pitched slate roof on timber construction with ridge tiles, and cast-iron rainwater goods with cast-iron downpipes. Coursed rubble stone walls retaining sections of lime rendered or roughcast surface finish; part roughcast surface finish to rear (south) elevation. Square-headed central opening (east) with corrugated-iron rolling door. Square-headed window openings with timber lintels framing timber fittings. Set in shared grounds.
