Bearforest

Polygonal-plan walled garden, built c. 1830, with rubble limestone walls having brick skin to inner north elevation. Square-headed pedestrian entrance to north side with red brick surround and decorative cast-iron gate. Remains of foundations of glass house to north. Landscaped gardens to interior.

This walled garden serves as a reminder of the range of demesne-related activities once associated with country houses in Ireland. The solidly constructed walls are enlivened by the brick surround to the entrance, which retains its decorative cast-iron gate. The garden would have provided a wide variety of produce for Bearforest House and it forms a group with the other structures to Bearforest Demesne, such as the outbuildings and gate lodge.
