Appraisal

This group of nine cut stone bollards represents an integral, if subtle, element of a group of related sites/structures associated with the Ardagh House (13312039) demesne. Their unusual form indicates some attention to their design. Groups of carved stone bollards such as these are becoming a rare sight in the Irish landscape, making this group an interesting survival.
