Extensive collection of single-, two- and three-storey domestic and agricultural outbuildings, c.1780, arranged around a courtyard to the north of Ardbraccan House. Mainly constructed of roughly coursed limestone with roughcast render. Hipped natural slate roofs with clay ridge tiles and cast-iron rainwater goods. Finely carved stone surrounds and stone sills to most window and door openings. Door and window openings are generally round-headed with loop hole openings to first floor on north and east ranges. Carriage archway with carved stone surrounds located centrally to north range. Timber sash windows on most ground floor window openings and timber battened doors to first floor, indicating that the first floor was used for storage. Stable block has round-headed openings with brick surrounds. Timber louvred vent to roof of stable block suggests that upper floor of this structure was used to store grain. Single-storey woodshed built of ashlar limestone with dressed stone segmental arches links stable block to north range. Another range of outbuildings located to the south of the house. A dome-shaped icehouse, built c. 1800, is located to the south of the outbuilding complex. The icehouse is lined internally with brick with a square opening to the roof. Rubble stone entrance porch with brick segmental-headed arch and cast-iron gate. Site covered with vegetation to provide insulation.
