What is recorded here

Eagle Obelisk rises in County Kildare as a sharp marble finger, built by Richard Castle to catch the eye of anyone approaching Belan House from the south-west. It is not a monument to death or victory, but a visual bait, pulling the gaze inward toward the residence. The stone still stands clean and deliberate, proving that even arrogance can be crafted into beauty when shaped by patience and pride.

Eagle Obelisk is a fine, well-maintained folly, attributed to Richard Castle, and designed as an eye-catcher to the nearby Belan House to the south-west. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 17 January 2012
