'Threshing barn' and site of horse walk at Finnebrogue estate farmyard, at 31 Killyleagh Road, Finnabrogue, Downpatrick, Co Down

Relatively large, pre 1834 two storey rubble-built gabled building, formerly a threshing barn and stables, now disused with some openings blocked up. Adjacent to the building is the site of a former horse walk. The building is part of a large farm complex built in various stages from (perhaps) c.1790s, to the mid 1900s. The farmyard is located on the SE side of Killyleagh Road, roughly two miles N of Downpatrick, with the former threshing barn etc. roughly to the centre of the grouping. The building is now entered from the N elevation, where to the right on the ground floor there is a large flat arch vehicle doorway with dilapidated timber sheeted double doors. The masonry above the door suggests the doorway originally had an elliptical arch head. To the left of the doorway there projects a long, low rubble-built wall, formerly belonging to a single storey shed, built in the later 1800s but now largely demolished, with only this wall remaining. A (still extant) door opening connected the threshing barn to this shed. To far left is a window filled with a crude grill. To the first floor there are three small windows with the remains of two pane frames. There is probably another window between the second and third window, but as this portion of the façade is covered in thick plant growth it is difficult to be sure of this. The E gable is blank (and partly covered in thick plant growth). The W gable has a small window to the centre of the first floor, with lattice-paned frame. To the ground floor there is the outline which shows that this level was once abutted by a single storey gabled building. To the left on the ground floor of the S elevation a large elliptical arched vehicle doorway has been blocked up in concrete block. To right of this the ground floor level is largely covered in thick plant growth and only the very tops of two openings (probably a doorway and window) can be seen. To the first floor are four small windows, as N elevation. The window to far right is largely smothered by thick plant growth. The façade of the barn is in random fieldstone rubble, with the gabled roof slated. The site formerly occupied by the horse walk is now covered in thick grass and shrubs.
