The Arklow Pyramid

…The Howard Mausoleum, Kilbride, Arklow, Co.Wicklow. …This pyramid was built in 1785 as a mausoleum for the Howard family of nearby Shelton Abbey. Situated on a small hill just north of the town, this monument was described by Sir John Betjeman (1906-84) as the largest pyramid tomb ‘beyond the banks of the Nile’. ..This photo was taken by ourselves back in 1988 while on a visit to Arklow. ..’got to see Eileen Dunne too!! 😜🎉
