A place to visit
Located a few miles from Carlow town, the ruined mansion, called Duckett's Grove, is well worth a visit. Lots to see there, including the refurbished gardens. Plenty of information panels. Car Park. No charges for admission.

Mayfield House, Portlaw - 2004.
Mayfield
House Portlaw
Portico Italianate,
Splendour towering
Towards the sky;
Jackdaws screaming
From your chimneys;
Collared Doves
In love, up high.
Roof collapsing,
Gutters rusting;
Balustrade and
Transoms loose;
Rose-red bricks and
Window timbers
Crumbling, crumbling -
Mayfield House.
