Mausoleum in Cahercorney, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Mausoleum in Cahercorney offers three handsome entrances, two of them bricked up. An estate agent would call that a choice of approaches; a Croker could point out that only one approach gets you anywhere.

Freestanding gable-fronted limestone mausoleum, built c. 1830. Pitched slate roof with tooled limestone copings. Ashlar walls to front (west) elevation with cut stone stringcourse. Rubble limestone walls north, south and rear (east) elevations. Round-headed door openings to front, north and south elevations having cut stone voussoirs, drop keystones and impost courses. Double-leaf cast-iron doors to front opening, north and south openings blocked up.

This mausoleum is a notable example of its type, distinguished by the use of high quality materials and precision execution. Built for the Croker family, it presents an early aspect with interesting features intact, such as the cast-iron doors with repoussé studs.
