What is recorded here

Boundary wall of former Saint Conleth's Reformatory School, built c.1800. Squared limestone random coursed blocks to wall, with chamfered tooled stone coping. Circular-plan watch towers to south-west and north-east corners. Square-headed door openings with rendered surrounds. Tooled stone voussoirs to carriage arch at south-west corner with cast-iron gates. Ashlar gate piers to main entrance, metal gates and stone wheel guards.

The high boundary wall, enclosing the former reformatory school, is an intimidating and imposing structure. The dark, cold stone reflects is former military use, having been constructed to surround Philipstown Barracks. The corner-sited watch towers enhance the defensive nature of the massive mural wall. The wall is a notable feature within Daingean and is historically significant, standing as a reminder of the town's past.
