What is recorded here

Freestanding boundary wall to former prison complex, erected c. 1825. Snecked, random rubble and coursed limestone wall with render coping to perimeter of site. Later inserted features such as gates. Some reworking of sections and coping. Surrounded by landscaped gardens. Surrounds former early nineteenth-century former jail reception/governor’s house (13001036). Gate lodge located to the east (13001034). Located to the north of Longford Town centre.

This well-constructed boundary wall was originally part of the Longford Town jail/prison complex. Although altered and possibly reduced in height, it remains an interesting and subtle example of early nineteenth-century craftsmanship. It forms part of an interesting group of related structures along with the former jail reception/governor’s house (13001036) and the gate lodge (13001034) and gateway (13008001) to the east.
