A substantial and well-built complex of outbuildings and ancillary structures associated with Turbotstown House (15400330). They retain their early form and character despite numerous alterations throughout the years. The form and detailing to a number of these buildings, suggests that they were built in the mid-eighteenth century, predating the existing Turbotstown House.
