Random rubble stone walls with section of unpainted render over. Square-headed window opening with no sill, and timber fitting.

Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, and no rainwater goods. Random rubble stone walls with traces of unpainted render over. Openings not visible.

An appealing collection of modest-scale ranges originally forming part of a larger corn mill complex representing an important element of the commercial and industrial legacy of Kilmanagh having traditionally supported some of the local agricultural economy. Now accommodating an alternative utilitarian function the assemblage remains an attractive feature in the landscape.
