Remains of complex of single-storey outbuildings arranged around a courtyard to the rear (west) of Buncrana Castle (see 40815001), originally built c. 1720 and extended and altered on a number on occasions. Semi-detached three-bay single-storey outbuilding to the north-east corner of yard having pitched natural slate and stone slate roof with red brick chimneystack, roughcast rendered rubble stone walls, and square-headed window openings with stone sills (now blocked) and square-headed doorways with metal-sheeted doors. Semi-detached three-bay single-storey outbuilding to the north of yard (adjoining building above) having modern addition to the west gable end, pitched corrugated-metal roof with raised verge to the west end, rendered rubble stone walls, square-headed window openings (now blocked) having stone sills, and with square-headed doorway with metal-sheeted door. Detached two-bay single-storey outbuilding to the south side of yard having pitched corrugated-metal roof, rendered rubble stone walls, and shallow segmental-headed openings to the north elevation having red brick voussoirs. Located to the west of Buncrana Castle with grassed yard to centre. Rubble stone boundary walls and wrought-iron flat-bar gates to site. High random rubble wall to west of yard with red brick (stretcher bond) to west face, probably originally part of a walled garden complex. Located to the north-west of the centre of Buncrana.
