Square-headed door openings with painted brick surrounds and timber battened doors. Slit openings with red brick dressings to rear elevation.

Appraisal
This rural outbuilding, modest in size and simple in form, is made of local materials. It was associated with the former coaching house on the opposite side of the road, and the other outbuilding at the junction. This building makes a subtle contribution to the village of Aughnamullen, and contributes to the context of the other buildings. It provides a pleasing contrast to the more formally-designed buildings such as the Orange hall and the church.
