Maltings

The National Monuments Service's description

At the E end of Gowran, on the S side of Main Street. A building annotated, ‘Malt House’ is indicated at this location on White’s map of Gowran, 1710/11. Though the map is early 18th century in date, it is likely that the malt house, which no longer survives above ground, dated to, at least, the 17th century. The malt house appears to have been situated roughly where the 19th-century gate lodge at the main entrance to Gowran Castle is located.
