    There is a townland called Garrison near Erril, not a million miles west of Rathdowney, with just one house on the historic maps.

    There is still a farm and farm buildings here, I can't tell if this house is still standing in some form: maps.app.goo.gl/rCErac7aHLivgaJEA

    Mr French / Lawarence supplies a wider view earlier - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000322134

    Edit - He is holding a stick in his right hand.
  • O Mac said:
    Looking through the survey photos on the NBHS (NIAH) site it appears Mr Boru is not there anymore.
    NLI needs a Missing Statue tag.

    O Mac As you wish!

    And you reminded me of this statue, so added Moving, rather than Missing Statue tag.

    “AI Overview The famous wooden carving at Celbridge Abbey in County Kildare, historically localized as the "Brian Boru Statue", is a rustic, weather-worn sculpture. It stands within the tranquil, historic grounds along the River Liffey that were famously associated with Jonathan Swift.
    Historically, this piece is an example of local folklore rather than an authentic depiction of the High King.
    It is one of a few scattered, traditional representations of Brian Boru found around Ireland”

    Still no news of his current whereabouts
  • Suck Diesel said:
    Has the statue succumbed to decay, being wooden, and no longer exists?

Never mind the house - look at that herbaceous border

    “Lady Anne returned to Castlecomer to live, and began a major reconstruction of the town, church, and manor house. The new Castlecomer House, completed in 1802, was much larger and grander than the original. The house had 365 windows, one for each day of the year”

  • Quite Adept said:
    Calendar houses were popular. So we’re there 52 rooms, and maybe 12 chimney stacks, or 12 staircases?

    suckindeesel Quite Adept I think this is our first (knowing) encounter with a calendar house?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Evidently Adare Manor is also a calendar house ...
    "... The building is a calendar house, featuring 365 windows and 52 chimneys, among some other design characteristics. Along the top of the building an extract of psalm 127:1 is made from carved stone: "Except the Lord build the house, then labour is but lost that built it"."
