What is recorded here

Detached multiple-bay single-storey outbuilding on L-shaped plan, built c. 1820 and extended c. 1850, now in disuse. Formerly associated with Farragh/Farraghroe House (demolished c. 1960). Pitched natural slate roofs, now partially collapsing. Roughly dressed limestone masonry walls with roughly dressed quoins to the corners. Square-headed window openings having limestone sills, cut limestone block-and-start surrounds, and with replacement windows. Square-headed door opening with cut limestone block-and-start surround. Located to the east of the site of Farragh/Farraghroe House, and to the southwest of Ballinalee.
Although now out of use and in a poor condition, this single-storey outbuilding retains its original character, as well as much of its early fabric. It is well-built using good quality limestone and its form is enhanced by the good quality block-and-start surrounds to the openings. These surrounds mirror those on a number of other buildings associated with the now-demolished Farragh/Farraghroe House, including the farm complex (13401425) to the northwest and the former stable block (13401429), which suggests that it was originally built as part of a wider scheme within this former demesne. This outbuilding appears to have had glass houses attached to the rear elevations to the west and the south (map information), c. 1900. This outbuildings forms part of an extensive collection of structures and features associated with Farragh/Farraghroe House, which was built or rebuilt by Willoughby Bond, c. 1820, and was in the ownership of the Bond family throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries until it was sold and subsequently demolished c. 1960.
