What is recorded here
Chimney in Oldcastle stands alone among the weeds in its fancy limestone coat, having taken the Irish goodbye to dangerous lengths. The party’s over, the hosts have left, they’ve demolished the house, and your man is still saying he must be going.
Disused tapered chimney, built c.1880, with rock-faced ashlar and tooled coping.
This is a well-designed and skilfully constructed chimney. The varying finishes of the limestone add a textural interest to the structure. It now stands alone on an overgrown site as a reminder of the site's previous history.
