• DU017-004 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Luttrellstown castle is associated with the Anglo-Norman family of Luttrells (Ball 1906 1-19; Guinness & Ryan 1971, 139-43 ). It is shown as a large Tudor style dwelling with surrounding walls on the Down Survey (1655-6) map. According to the Dublin Hearth Money Roll for 1664 the house had eleven chimneys, and was surrounded by pleasure grounds, ornamental plantations and orchards (Ball 1906). In 1800 the Luttrell family sold the property to Luke White who changed the name of the property to 'Woodlands' and encased the castle in early 19th-century Gothic architecture. (Bence-Jones 1995, 196, 2nd ed. ). Later re-building has made it difficult to identify the medieval portions of this Gothic mansion. It may incorporate portion of an earlier fortification in its make-up in the central area of the North range. The basement level which carries the octagonal hall contains a spiral staircase which is partially within the thickness of the wall, the S and E wall (T 1.37m) is also comparitively thick. This basement level (L 8.20m, Wth 5.90m) is vaulted with cusped recesses. The 17th mansion survives in the NE at the junction of the N and S range (DU017-004001-).
