What is recorded here
Freestanding hexagonal garden temple, erected c.1915, set at seaward end (west) of rectangular flagged area, surrounded by plinth walls. Doric columns with square-profile plinths supporting moulded architrave. Coursed cut block bench and wall to west.
The fine gardens and buildings of Garinish Island were designed and executed by Harold Peto (1854-1933) for Annan Bryce (1874-1924) who purchased the island from the War Office in 1910. This exceptional structure is a fine example of a Grecian temple and its position affords fine views west to the Caha Mountains. It is unusually positioned on Garnish Island and is completely unique within West Cork.
