Description
Dalshangan Stables is an earlier 19th century complex consisting of four ranges of single-storey and loft farm buildings arranged around a courtyard, with a later tower and entrance pend dated 1865 on the tower. The single-storey ranges are made of painted rubble and are grouped around a cobbled courtyard, with roofs that are partly slate and partly covered with corrugated iron.
At the center of the eastern range, a three-stage tower rises above a depressed-arch pend. The tower is constructed of hammer-dressed rubble with polished red sandstone margins. There are string courses that separate the first and second stages, and the third stage features clock faces on each compass point. The tower has a deep plain parapet with ball finials at the corners. As of 1986, the tower is roofless and in poor condition.
