Ford Castle Game Tower With Attached Garden Walls And Carriage Arch

Ford Castle Game Tower, built in the mid to late 19th century for the Marchioness of Waterford, is a game larder made of ashlar stone with a stone slate roof. The tower is round and has two storeys. It features a boarded door with a two-centred arch beneath a drip mould, and two narrow lancet windows. The first floor extends out on a continuous rounded corbel with a cornice above, and has eight small square two-pane windows in boldly-moulded surrounds, topped with a cornice. The conical roof is covered with fish-scale slates.

Inside, there is one tall storey with walls lined in embossed blue and white tiles, rows of game hooks, a marble shelf around the walls, and a round marble table in the center.

To the west, there is a garden wall attached to the castle, approximately 12 feet high, featuring ridged and roll-moulded coping and five buttresses on the garden side. A similar wall to the east connects with the Walled Garden. At the rear, there is a segmental carriage arch.
