Appraisal
An interesting and substantial farmyard building, which forms part of an important group of structures associated with Tullynally Castle (15400321). This fine range is well-built and retains some interesting features, including the cast-iron diamond pane windows and the good dressed limestone surrounds to the openings. This building has been altered many times over the years and now has a mix of window and door styles with some openings now infilled with brick. This range is unusual in that it is set out in a long single structure, rather than around a central courtyard as commonly found with demesne-related structures of this type.
