Description
Detached three-bay double-height former railway goods shed, built c. 1880, now disused, with timber canopy over entrance front. Pitched slate roof with limestone chimneystack. Rubble stone walls with dressed limestone quoins. Segmental-arched openings to front and gable elevations, with cut limestone block-and-start surround and voussoirs, now blocked up. Square-headed openings in upper rear elevation, with brick block-and-start surrounds and metal and timber lintels, now blocked up.
Appraisal
This goods shed is a reminder of a time when train travel was the main method of transportation in Ireland. It forms a group with and offers a counterpoint to the related structures of the railway station, footbridge and signal box. It retains much of its original form and its modest appearance is enhanced by features such as the limestone quoins and timber canopy.
