Appraisal
A fine group of outbuildings which form a group with Ballymaloe House to west and further outbuildings and walled garden to south-east. It retain much original form and fabric. The gable-fronted block is of unusual form and is a notable feature, especially in conjunction with attached arch, which retains notable keystone and inscription details including date of 1701, which add interest and context.
