Appraisal
This barracks building, partly in use as a museum, has similar detailing to most of the other buildings at Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa. Its form is somewhat unsuall, being partly single and partly two storey. The retention of timber sash windows considerably enhances the building and adds interest.
