kiln

Group of detached sawmill buildings, built c.1945. Pitched corrugated-iron roofs, one with metal chimneystack. One building with concrete walls, others with timber clapboard sides. Timber drying kilns and boiler to concrete-walled building, open storage and sawing workshops to others. Kiln building has rare steel locking mechanisms to doors. Timber clapboard office to southwest with pitched corrugated-iron roof. Four-bay two-storey house to northeast with pitched slate roof, two-over-two pane and some six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows. Complex sited adjacent to inland harbour to and from which goods were transported along River Shannon.

An interesting and relatively rare sawmill and timber proceesing complex of the mid-twentieth century. The walling of most of the buildings is unsually of timber clapboard. The door locks to the kilns are a particularly rare survival and make this an industrial grouping of special significance.
