What is recorded here
Rectangular walled garden, built c.1800, with courtyard of stables, later a dwelling, to north-west corner. Currently disused. Rubble limestone walls with yellow brick facing to interior. Square-headed opening in west wall.
The walled garden would have played an important part in the day-to-day functioning of Portumna Castle producing food for the castle table. Though now somewhat separated from the castle, it is still part of a relatively intact demesne which includes the castle and its associated buildings. Walled gardens are often faced with brick as it retains heat and allowed for the easy hanging of fruit trellises.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
