What is recorded here

Former boathouse, built c.1770, within the demesne of Charleville Castle. Segmental-headed arched opening with random coursed limestone walls flanking entrance. Stone barrel-vaulted internal roof. Blocked square-headed opening to rear. Lake has been drained.

This stone vaulted boathouse stands on the edge of a small wooded hill in the north-west corner of Charleville Castle. Built of a simple rubble vault into the side of a hill and covered with soil it remains as an important reminder of a large artificial lake on which this boathouse stood. The lake no longer remains and has not been present since the first Ordnance Survey in 1838.
