Coursed snecked squared limestone rubble walls with plinth and eaves course, with clock to northern gable-front. Square-headed window openings to first floor with cut-stone lintels, and camber-arched openings with voussoirs to first floor of gable-fronts and to ground floor, all with replacement uPVC windows.

Appraisal
The irregular plan of this building makes it unusual. Its detailing, however, is similar to other buildings in the barracks complex and it forms the south end of the eastern range of structures that front the east side of the parade square. Its stonework shows good craftsmanship.
