The National Monuments Service's description
On the NE outskirts of Killarney. A large 19th-century complex built of random rubble sandstone with limestone quoins, in modern use as a hospital. The ground plan as indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map is still largely intact: a dormitory range forms the front elevation (SE) of two and three storeys; a one-storey chapel/refectory range is at right angles to the rear of the domitories; the W portion of a two-storey infirmary range survives at the rear of the complex. A dispensary and lodge stand to the SE of the main structure.
