What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey former Royal Irish Constabulary barracks, built c.1850, now in use as a Garda Station. The building is roughly L-plan but with a small single-bay single-storey projection to the west side and a gabled porch to the front. The front elevation is largely constructed in a mixture of squared granite rubble and a darker field stone rubble, with granite quoins and window surrounds, whilst the other elevations and the front face of the single-storey projection are finished in plain unpainted render. The hipped roof is slated and has plain ridge tiles and brick chimneystacks with pronounced corbelling. The porch roof is also slated but has a slight overhang with plain bargeboards and finial. The entrance consists of a panelled timber door, whilst the windows are flat-headed and have two over two timber sash and replacement uPVC frames. Cast-iron rainwater goods. The building faces onto a street but is separated from it by a small garden enclosed by a low rubble wall and small wrought-iron gate.
