Description
Detached three-bay single-storey former railway station building, built c.1860 by the Midland Great Western Railway as part of the Longford to Sligo line. Now derelict.

Appraisal
This former goods shed is part of a large railway complex associated with the Dublin to Sligo line. Although now derelict, it is still an attractive addition to the station complex. Features of note include the surviving glazing bars and dressed stonework which contribute to the overall design.
