Description
Two-storey L-plan building, built c.1830, comprising two or three-bay forge along road, with small lean-to on east side, and with corn-drying kiln at right angles to south end, siting on opposite road to Templetogher Mill. Pitched corrugated-iron roofs with concrete copings. Rubble limestone walls. Recently rebuilt segmental-headed vehicular opening to north gable of north block, with limestone voussoirs. Square-headed openings elsewhere with limestone lintels and timber battened fixtures.
Appraisal
This industrial building makes an interesting grouping with the mill opposite. Their small scale and vernacular construction, and the varied functions add interest to the district's built heritage.
