Summerhill House, demesne walls in County Meath

What is recorded here

Summerhill House has vanished, but the grand curved entrance walls and tree-lined avenue are still doing the introductions. It’s a terribly posh way of being stood up.

Ashlar limestone gate piers and walls, c.1730, with modern steel gates. Comprising of pair of square ashlar limestone piers supporting pair of gates, flanked by pairs of ashlar limestone gate piers to pedestrian gates. Ashlar limestone curved walls, terminated by ashlar limestone piers.

Though Summerhill House has been demolished, the entrance and tree-lined avenue are reminders of the demesne. The curved wall and gate piers was clearly executed by skilled masons. The entrance acts as a focal point within the village of Summerhill and contributes to the architectural heritage of the area.
