A circular stone pavilion or temple, left, and a rustic timber summerhouse from Kilkenny Castle at Sheppard's.

A square timber summerhouse purchased at the dispersal sale at Kilkenny Castle in 1935 is among the rarities at the Sheppard’s annual Glantelwe Gardens sale in Durrow, Co Laois, this Tuesday (June 30) and Wednesday.

It was designed to revolve on an iron wheel mechanism to follow the course of the sun throughout the day.

The roof is now gone, and steeply pitched gable ends have survived. The estimate is €3,000-€5,000.

The sale offers everything from weathered staddle stones and 19th-century turnstiles converted to tables to bronze fountains, garden seats, gazebos, stone piers, troughs, gates and architectural salvage sourced from private collections, country houses and gardens.
