What is recorded here

Detached mausoleum, built c.1830, on box plan. Stands at north end of graveyard. Decorative stepped pitched limestone roof with ornamental blind dormers. Ashlar limestone walls having cornice and plinth. Four-centred-arch opening with hood-moulding, now sealed with concrete.
Built for the Spaight family, this mausoleum is of apparent architectural design, with interesting features such as the carved roof and cornice, and was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen. It forms an interesting group of structures with Castletown Church and mortuary.
