Kilberry Royal Irish Constabulary Barracks (former) is a fine, Classically-proportioned middle-size building that, although altered in the late twentieth century, retains some of its original character. The building is of social and historic interest for its former use, representing an early civic building in the locality, and evidence of its subsequent use remains in the inscribed fascia that formed a simple shopfront to the flanking end bay to left. The building retains some early features, including a slate roof, and subtle decoration is introduced in the form of a simple pediment to the gable front. The structure is prominently located just off the side of the road and is a pleasant landmark in the locality.
