Adare Manor

Multiple-chamber asymmetrical walled garden, built c. 1830, comprising rubble stone walls with red brick to sections. Cut limestone copings. Segmental arched openings with cut limestone and red brick voussoirs. Cast-iron gates to some. Segmental-arched pedestrian entrance openings with cut limestone voussoirs and timber battened doors. Pointed arch pedestrian entrance opening with chamfered limestone block-and-start surround. Cut limestone crenellated parapet to west wall with cut limestone copings. Dovecote openings below. Curved corners to outer walls, south-east and south-west corners. Adjoining staff houses to north-west corner and to south-west corner of north chamber.

This extensive walled garden forms a group with the other garden structures, contained within, as well as with the staff houses to the west and the ice house to the east. It is very well preserved and maintained and displays a variety of materials and openings. The stone and brick construction, along with the variety of opening and their treatments and copings are well crafted. The curved walls and the crenellated walls are unusual features, which adds significantly to the site.
