Detached two- or four-bay double-height goods shed, extant 1913, with two-bay double-height platform (south-west) elevation. Decommissioned, 1925[?]. Reroofed. Now disused. Replacement pitched slate roof originally extending into lean-to slate roofs on timber spandrels on drag edged tooled cut-limestone ogee corbels with clay ridge tiles terminating in red brick Running bond chimney stack having corbelled stepped stringcourse below capping supporting terracotta pot, and uPVC rainwater goods on timber eaves boards on slightly overhanging exposed timber rafters. Tuck pointed snecked rock faced limestone walls with rock faced hammered limestone flush quoins to corners. Pair of square-headed central openings between drag edged tooled cut-limestone ogee corbels with reinforced concrete lintels framing concrete block infill. Square-headed flanking window openings with drag edged dragged cut-limestone sills, and red brick block-and-start surrounds framing six-over-six timber sash windows. Set in unkempt grounds originally shared with Claremorris South Railway Station.
A goods shed forming part of a neat self-contained group alongside a nearby water tower (see 31214019) with the resulting ensemble surviving as an interesting relic of the Claremorris South Railway Station complex opened (1894) as the terminus of the awkwardly-titled Athenry and Tuam Extension to Claremorris Light Railway (ATECLR) line, an extension subsequently subsumed into the Waterford, Limerick and Western Railway (WLWR) line operated by the Waterford, Limerick and Western Railway (WLWR) Company (incorporated 1845; renamed 1896).
