The Deer Park at Mount Merrion was landscaped by the 6th Viscount.
Mount Merrion House.
Detail of Pat Roe's map of 1774.
In the deer park we see the 'Shell House' (where paths converge).
Below it to the left is the 'Obelisk' (which survived until 1960).

Deerpark on
1829 to 1842 map.
Visible is the octagonal Summer House in the woods ("The Shell House").
Note the woods here come right up to Mount Merrion House.
On earlier and later maps
there is a lawn between the woods and the house.
It may be that this map is inaccurate here.
Some of the paths in the park could be over 200 years old.
