What is recorded here
Enniscoe House in Prospect has a circular woodland mausoleum behind a battlemented wall. It has the proportions of a biscuit tin and the military ambitions of a small European country.
Freestanding single-bay single-stage "mausoleum", extant 1896, on a circular plan with rendered, ruled and lined boundary wall to perimeter having Irish battlemented coping centred on round-headed gateway framing wrought iron-detailed gate. Set in woodland in grounds shared with Enniscoe House.
A Georgian Gothic ""mausoleum"" contributing positively to the group and setting values of the Enniscoe House estate.
