Description
Rubble limestone boundary wall associated with St. Loman’s Hospital (15311017), built c.1855, having staggered block coping over. Rebuilt gateway and wall to the east. Located to the southwest of St. Loman’s Hospital and to the northeast of Mullingar Town along the Delvin Road.
Appraisal
A well-built limestone boundary wall associated with St. Loman’s Hospital (15311017), which retains its early form and character. The section to the west end of the road-frontage of St. Loman’s Hospital is all the remains of the original wall, the section to the east and the main gates being rebuilt. The unusual staggered coping over is a distinctive and unusual feature. This wall adds interest to the Delvin Road and forms part of an important collection of structures/features associated with the St. Loman’s Hospital/former Mullingar District Lunatic Asylum complex.
