'Granary' at Finnebrogue estate farmyard, at 31 Killyleagh Road, Finnabrogue, Downpatrick, Co Down

Two storey rubble built farmyard building with slated pyramidal roof, possibly built c.1800 as a granary. The building is part of the now largely disused Finnebrogue estate farmyard, a large complex built in various stages from (perhaps) c.1790s, to the mid 1900s. The granary is part of a long row of structures situated on the NW side of the complex and backing unto a high boundary wall, with Killyleagh Road on the opposite side. The farmyard is located on the SE side of Killyleagh Road, roughly two miles N of Downpatrick. The granary is square in plan and is mainly squared fieldstone rubble. To the ground floor of the front (SE) elevation there is a broad doorway with dilapidated timber sheeted door. To the left of this doorway is a small frameless window opening surrounded by thick ivy growth (much of this elevation is covering in the same growth). To the right of the doorway is another similar sized window opening filled with a grill. To the centre of the first floor is a large window with the dilapidated remains of a frame. This opening has been partly engulfed by thick ivy growth. The NE elevation is blank. The SW elevation has a large arched opening to the upper level, now ‘enlarged’ due to surrounding stone having fallen away. This elevation used to be abutted by a lower two storey range, but much of this has been demolished and the elevation is simply blank. The NE elevation is abutted by an open range with a corrugated-metal lean-to roof. On both elevations the outlines of the gabled roofs of the original neighbouring buildings are visible. The NW elevation forms part of the tall boundary wall to the Killyleagh Road and is blank. The pyramidal roof is slated. Some of the slates have fallen off.
