What is recorded here

Section of rubble limestone boundary wall, c.1780, with curved section to north and buttresses. Set back from road in grounds shared with Leixlip Castle.
This section of boundary wall, constructed using rubble limestone, is an attractive feature in the grounds of Leixlip Castle. The construction is representative of the traditional method of economic building in the late eighteenth century, and the exposed buttresses are also of interest. The rubble stone fabric is a feature shared in common with further buildings in the grounds and serves to unify the disparate buildings of various periods.
