According to the 1967 OS map, this appears to have been a long triangular site on North Roskear Road and seems much more like a barracks. The old stone buildings on the east end of the site appear to have now passed into private ownership. The centre of the site is now used by an industry - some sort of bus or truck depot. Now (2007), just the eastern third of the site is occupied by a more recent cream coloured drill hall which is still used by the Light Infantry. We do not know the age of the more recent drill hall.
