Description
Detached gable-fronted single-bay single-storey former forge, built c. 1890, now disused. Rubble stone walls. Timber battened doors set in segmental-arched opening with brick and ashlar dressings. Timber windows with ashlar dressings.
Appraisal
This simple forge is enhanced by the textural variation created by the rubble walls, ashlar surrounds and brick arch. Located close to Ardglassan cottages, this forge contributes to the historic fabric of the group.
