PROJECT JUSTIFICATION & OBJECTIVES
Turret Lodge is a notable landmark in Kilrush controlling access between the town and the Vandeleur Estate demesne. Kilrush House, the home of the Vandeleur family, was burned down in 1897, and only the lodges, walled garden and stable block survived the fire. Turret Lodge therefore holds significant historic value.
