Located alongside Kilmaloda House, this farmyard complex is an indicator of the scale of the working farm which was once associated with the demesne. It is a reminder of the scale and wealth of the estate in the past. The majority of the buildings are set around a formal central courtyard and retain much of their original fabric and features.
