Description
The stables at Kilmaron Castle were likely designed by architect James Gillespie Graham and were built around 1820, with some later additions. This castellated Gothic stable range consists of one and two storeys and includes a workshop range, forming a U-shape around an inner courtyard.
The west front features seven bays made of polished yellow ashlar, with mostly blind openings. The central bay has paired lancet windows set in a tall pointed panel, flanked by engaged octagonal piers that rise above the parapet and are castellated. The outer bays are advanced and have Tudor-arched openings in recessed panels, along with blind pointed windows and slit loft openings in the intermediate bays. The parapet is crenellated and steps up at the central and outer bays. The remainder of the building is constructed from rubble with ashlar dressings.
The north wing has three stepped roof pitches and features a segmental-headed pend with a dovecot above, visible from the courtyard elevation, along with a variety of door and window openings. The central courtyard block has a two-storey west elevation with three arcaded, segmental-headed cart entrances below 12-pane sash windows. The roofs are gabled and covered with slate, featuring piended designs.
