Description
Remains of garden temple, built c.1830, to west of Newtownanner House, with boathouse to underside, looking onto boating canals and ponds. Flights of cut limestone steps to north and south having rendered brick and rubble limestone piers at landing level and at base. Ruinous remains of stone and brick temple to platform accessed by the flights of steps.
Appraisal
This now ruinous garden feature formerly consisted of a temple with a pediment supported on eight columns, accessed by the surviving flights of steps. It forms a significant feature of Newtownanner Demesne and overlooked intricately-laid out boating watercourses in a well-conceived demesne landscape.
