Detached four-bay two-storey store or warehouse, built c.1730, with single-storey carriage arch bay attached to south-east end, as noted by modern plaque. Converted to workhouse during the mid nineteenth century and now used as an agricultural outbuilding. Hipped corrugated-iron roof. Random coursed limestone walls with rubble infill to the ground floor. Window openings with stone lintels and arches. Replacement double entrance doors. Wheel guards to carriage arch. Flagstones to interior.
This building, situated on the road to Jamestown, is of technical, historical, social and architectural interest. Built as a store or warehouse, it was converted in the 1840s into an auxiliary workhouse to assist the over-flowing workhouse in Carrick-on-Shannon. As such is a visual reminder of the county's social history.

Explorer Tom Sluice or sluice gate in Jamestown controls the Shannon like it’s running a very serious Victorian traffic cop operation. It could teach history but would just sigh and open the gates to let the water complain. Count the crows and admire the engineering.

Jamestown ArchRuins · 115 ydIndicatedTown defences · 212 yd

Explorer Tom Town defences in Jamestown makes a low hum sound at night that might just be wind, or ghosts. Mostly destroyed now, but some wall bits remain to keep the mystery alive. Go before the tourists find out.

Explorer Tom Castlecarra in Aghancarra is basically a rumour that got a map label. Two lads bet a pint it was red brick, and they lost badly because it’s just dirt now. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.

Site of Dangan CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Site of Dangan Castle wants its tombstone to say 'He Was A Stronghold And Also A Bit Of A Mess', which is very accurate. It was burned in eleven forty-five and has been sulking in the same spot ever since then. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Moon RiverHeritage attraction · 2.8 miMullinashee WoodForest · 4.4 mi

Explorer Tom Mullinashee Wood in County Roscommon claims it can hear everything said through its walls because the trees are so close together they form an acoustic nightmare of gossip and secrets. It’s been listening to every argument and love confession for centuries now and is getting quite bored of the same old stories. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
