What is recorded here

Walled Gardens, built between c.1760 and c.1850, to the rear (north) of Meares Court (15401711). Constructed of coursed rubble stone walling to the exterior with brick-lining to a number of the interior faces.
An extensive complex of walled gardens and associated structures to the rear of Meares Court House (15401711), which contributes positively to the group values and to the setting within this important demesne. They act as an interesting historical reminder of the extensive organisation and the high level of resources needed to maintain a large country demesne in Ireland during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
