What is recorded here
Death came for Westpalstown House in 1994, scattering its identity across County Dublin. The ornamental gateway vanished entirely, releasing carved church fragments and bridge stones into the unknown. What remains is a ghost address, a set of coordinates pointing at empty air. The house did not fade; it was erased, its pieces stolen or lost before anyone could record where they went.
In 1994 the ornamental gateway to Westpalstown house incorporated many carved stone fragments that probably originated from the nearby medieval church (DU007-008001-). They included chamfered window jambs, mullion fragments with glazing bars and stone rebates. No longer located.
