Lisnagar Pond, ornamental canal or lake in County Cork

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Ornamental demesne canal, built c. 1730, in form of long, narrow, T-plan water body, oriented north-north-east and south-south-west.

This water feature forms a focal point in the demesne landscape of Lisnagar House and forms one of its many and varied features. Its elongated shape draws the eye out into the surrounding countryside, and the mature trees greatly enhance its attraction.
