Appraisal
This complex of outbuildings forms part of Mallow Castle's demesne and its buildings retain their original and varied form. There is evidence of well-crafted stonework, particularly in the voussoirs to the central arch of the north block. The arcaded block adds interest as do the well-executed piers to the entrance, which make use of red brick decorative patterning, an uncommon feature.
