Description
Rubble limestone estate wall with random block castellated capping stones, built c.1820. Road-fronted with woodland behind (east). Located along the northwest boundary of the former Pollard estate.
Appraisal
This estate wall forms part of the original Kinturk Demesne. The Pollard family of Kinturk House were influential in the development of Castlepollard and this wall is a visual representation of that relationship. It is likely that this wall dates from the 1820s when Kinturk House (15302016) itself was remodelled and the village rebuilt in its present layout. This wall forms an attractive feature which contributes significantly to the streetscape and creates a pleasant approach into the village along the Mullingar Road.
