What is recorded here
Store or warehouse in Termoncarragh is a wee single-room storehouse designed by a lighthouse engineer, with iron double doors and carefully curved granite supports. Ask that man for a biscuit tin and you’d need harbour clearance to open it.
Detached single-bay (single-bay deep) single-storey gable-fronted storehouse with half-attic, designed 1892, on a rectangular plan. Decommissioned, 1969. Now disused. Pitched (gable-fronted) slate roof on collared timber construction with clay ridge tiles, and concrete coping to gables on cut-granite "Cavetto" corbel kneelers. Snecked limestone walls with cut-granite flush quoins to corners. Camber-headed opening with red brick block-and-start surround framing iron double doors. Camber-headed ventilation loop (gable) with cut-granite flush sill, and red brick block-and-start surround framing louvered fitting. Camber-headed window openings with cut-granite chamfered flush sills, and red brick block-and-start surrounds with fittings now boarded-up. Set in unkempt grounds.
A storehouse erected to designs signed (1892) by William Douglass (1831-1923), Engineer to the Commissioners of Irish Lights (appointed 1878; retired 1900), representing an integral component of the late nineteenth-century built heritage of Contae Mhaigh Eo [north County Mayo].
