Square-headed opening to east elevation, double metal doors. Set in freight yard located to south of Dundalk Railway Station, corrugated-iron shed to north-east.

This former freight shed displays the design and technical skills of nineteenth-century railway building in Ireland. One of a group of structures associated with Dundalk Railway Station, it is a reminder of the importance of Dundalk as a port and transit point for people and goods in a previous era and is an important part of the historical fabric of the town.
