A well-built and imposing boundary wall associated with Lynnbury House (15402603). This wall is well-maintained and retains good quality dressed limestone coping over. It forms part of an interesting group of structures associated with Lynnbury House and is an attractive feature along the roadscape to the south of Mullingar. This wall is known locally as "Musical Wall" and, apparently, the wall resonates with sound if you run a stone along its length, adding an interesting additional folklore element to the particular feature.
