Description
Detached multiple-bay two-storey former stables, c.1800, on an L-shaped plan, now in use as park outbuildings. Roughcast rendered walls. Multiple shuttered doorways to ground floor. Rectangular openings with stone sills and elliptical openings with red brick dressings to first floor. Round-headed archway with dressed voussoir stones. Half-hipped slate roofs. Dilapidated single-storey accommodation block to north-west. Semi-circular limestone rubble boundary wall and gate piers associated with stables to north west.
Appraisal
The stable block is part of a group of outbuildings associated with the former Corkagh House. The design of the modest structure is enlivened by the use of brick dressed oval openings and the grand archway. The stable block is an important reminder of the history of the surrounding parkland and the heritage of the Clondalkin area.
