5/10 Doorway re-erected
in rock face
approximately
100 metres to
south-east of
Boston Castle
- II
Re-erected door surround. Early-mid C17, resited C19. Limestone architrave
and aedicule set within brick panel. Bolection-moulded architrave infilled
with brickwork and flanked by panelled pilasters with plinth blocks and acanthus-
carved consoles. Heavy, moulded, segmental pediment with springers breaking
forward.
Important relic associated with the College of Jesus buildings (College Street,

early illustration shows this doorway as one of a pair set within a ruin (Guest,
opp. p16).
