RIC barracks

Detached three-bay two-storey former Royal Irish Constabulary Barracks, built c.1875, with central gable-fronted porch with pierced bargeboards to front (northeast) and a single-storey lean-to extension and a complex of single-storey outbuildings to rear (southwest). Now out of use. Hipped natural slate roof clay ridge tiles, cast-iron rainwater goods and two central rendered chimneystacks with moulding cornices and clay chimney pots over. Rendered walls with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Iron security bars to ground floor openings. Round-headed doorcase with timber panelled door and plain fanlight over to central porch. Set slightly back from road adjacent to rural crossroads.

An appealing late nineteenth-century former RIC barracks, which retains much of its original form and character despite being currently out of use. Its simple, but symmetrical form is enhanced by the retention of original features such as the sash windows. The iron bars to the ground floor openings are an indication of its former function. This barracks is strategically placed close to a rural crossroads and replaced an earlier nineteenth century RIC barracks, which was located a short distance to the north of this building.
