Arklow's Pyramid is described as the largest pyramid tomb 'beyond the banks of the Nile', (Sir John Betjeman, (1906-84)).

The Pyramid sits on the highest point in the ancient Kilbride cemetery, alongside ruins of a medieval church. The outer cladding of pyramid is granite and it reaches a height of about 30 feet, allowing it to be seen from up to two miles away.

Ralph Howard, Viscount of Wicklow, commissioned the pyramid after 1785 as a mausoleum for his loved ones. Although sealed now, access to the inside was by a little door in the north wall. Passing down a narrow 8 feet long brings you to a chamber which is roughly 10 feet squared, with an impressive curved brick ceiling. Inside the chamber, on each side are niches of coffins - three rows of three, space for nine coffins in total.

So I wonder does anyone know about the pyramid in Giltown Stud just on the border of Kildare and Wicklow? It’s also camouflaged by trees in a cemetery on the grounds of the famous stud farm..
