Shed at Ardglass Harbour, Ardglass, Co Down

Two storey Belfast Truss-roofed fishermens’ harbour-side store in whitewashed rubble and brick, which may have assumed its present appearance in c.1900 when the brick upper storey was added to an earlier rubble structure. The building is located on the S side of Ardglass Harbour, backing on to the N boundary wall of the former Ardglass Castle. The property is square in plan and measures roughly 7.5m x 7.5. The lower storey is in rubble with the upper storey in brick and the whole of the façade whitewashed. To the front (N) elevation there is a vehicle doorway and a window to the ground floor with two windows and a cental loft door to the upper floor. The E and W (gabled) elevations are blank, with that to E overlooking a walled yard and with a stone staircase rising against that to W (this stair rises to a laneway further to the S). To the S the building backs directly on to a high rubble wall (belonging to the former Ardglass Castle) and has no openings. The curved roof is felt-covered.
