Appraisal
A farmyard complex constructed within and incorporating the fabric of a sixteenth- or seventeenth-century fortified bawn (RMP WM001-031----): one outbuilding features a repurposed doorcase with fluted scroll consoles and an inscribed date ("1813") which may have been reclaimed either from Carlanstown Castle or the original Carlanstown House (RMP WM001-031002-). The outbuildings, a pleasing vernacular ensemble, retain their original form together with substantial quantities of the original fabric and forming part of an impressive group alongside the adjacent Carlanstown House (15400104).
