What is recorded here
Freestanding square-plan single-bay single-stage folly, erected c.1780. Coursed rubble stone corbelled roof. Coursed rubble stone walls with coursed rubble plinth course. Square-headed recessed panels to south-west, north-east and rear (north-west) elevation. Round-headed door opening to front (south-east) elevation, with rubble voussoirs.
Sited at a height, this modest folly makes a notable contribution to the landscape. Simply designed and executed, it serves no obvious function or relation with the adjacent former Rectory, although it may have served as an eye-catcher from the nearby Killeevan graveyard. It is an important local landmark and contributes to the architectural heritage identity of Monaghan.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
