Ballinree Royal Irish Constabulary Barracks, County Carlow.
Fortified during 1919-21, renovated. 1990 for
residential use. A tudor-revival building of circa 1845
with a cylindrical tower on a square base flanking a
two-storey, gabled facade with painted, rendered walls,
chamfered, granite window dressings with mullions in the
main windows. The high-pitched roofs are covered with
natural slates and have granite coping. The building was
renovated circa 1990 and extended at the rear in a bold
and yet sensitive manner. Ballinree which was situated
roughly between Muinebeag and Borris was discontinued in
1905.
