McConnell's yard, High Street, Comber, Co. Down, BT23 5QE

Walled yard on the N side of High Street, between No.5 and No.7 with single and two storey outbuildings to its N and W sides. To the S (High Street) side there is a high wall in random rubble with a large carriage gateway to the right with timber sheeted double doors. To the N of this is the yard itself. To the S side of the yard (against the wall) is an 'open' (shelter-like) store with sandstone rubble walls and a corrugated asbestos roof. To N and W sides of the yard are single storey lean to/mono-pitch storehouses. These buildings are linked to form an L-shaped plan, with those to the W leaning against the gable of No.7. They have sandstone rubble walls and and rough-hewn (Tullycavy) natural slate (which appears to have been tarred at some point). The grouping to the W has three doorways with chamfered sandstone dressings and metal sheeted doors. That to the N side has two similar doorways and three small window openings. All of these windows are boarded/blocked, but the two to the left have the remnants of sash frames. There are four small, (presumably cast iron), skyklights to the roof of the grouping to the W which appear to have been covered in tar at some point, as with the rest of the roof. To the NE corner of the yard is a flight of stone steps which lead to an upper level doorway on the W gable of a two storey outbuilding/store. This building is set further N that the L shaped grouping and appears to be constructed partly in brick and partly in rubble. Its S facade has a large carriage doorway to the left on the ground floor with a smaller doorway its right and one above. All these doorways have timber sheeted doors. To the right of these doorways this abuts the rear of a two storey outbuilding at the back of No.5. The yard itself is mainly covered in grass, though there is a tarmac drive/pathway beyond the main entrance to the SE. There is a telegraph pole to the E side of the yard. The yard in general is in poor order.
