Description
Sections of rubble stone boundary walls, c.1835.
Appraisal
These sections of rubble stone boundary walls, forming a boundary to Straffan Demesne, are a fine example of the once prolific, but increasingly rare, traditional method of constructing boundary walls. Replacement or modern boundary walls are frequently built with less attention paid to stone masonry traditions. The walls form an attractive feature flanking the road leading south-west out of the village of Straffan.
