Appraisal
This warehouse forms part of an interesting wider group of mill related structures within the town of Askeaton. Its deep form is typical of such structures with its gable-end with loading bay addressing the quay, where corn was directly hoisted from the boats. The warehouse retains its original structure including external and internal timber fittings, brick dressings and slate roof.
