What is recorded here

Triangular plan limestone monument, c.1790, set on an elevated earthen mound with narrow steps, c.1985. Stepped base, three carved tortoises to corners, Portland stone main section with carved relief roundel to two sides, surmounted by a limestone urn, all executed in a Greek classical idiom. Formerly located to the west within the demesne.
A beautiful, finely executed monument known as "Sarsfield's Monument" and designed by architect James Wyatt with many superb examples of Greek classical decoration then fashionable. Its elevated position in an open location, though only recently moved here, allows a fuller appreciation of this remarkable historical feature.
