What is recorded here

Three-bay single-storey rubble limestone masonry shell grotto to north-west of country house, built c.1830. Pointed-arch entrances with rubble limestone voussoirs. Cut limestone steps and rubble limestone masonry well with pointed-arch opening adjacent to shell grotto.
This garden feature is typical of many demesnes in Ireland. The Gothic Revival appearance was regularly favoured for these structures. This well-preserved example, along with the temple, adds significantly to the setting and significance of Newtownanner Demesne.
