The National Monuments Service's description

The present house known as 'Woodlands' was built by the vicar of Santry, the Rev. John Jackson, in the early 18th-century (Bence-Jones 1988, 286). Prior to 1837, it's name was Clinshogh (Appleyard 1985, 69). The Hearth Money Roll for County Dublin 1664 mentions a dwelling with seven hearths held by Richard Foster, Great Clanshogh (Cary 1930-33, 396). It is posssible that 'Woodlands'may have incorporated this earlier building. Today it is a square, brick, two storey building with a high basement and a pyramidal roof, from the centre of which rises a gazebo. It has four chimney stacks and a five bay entrance front. The interior is divided by a long vaulted corridor-hall running from front to back. Craig considers it the most interesting early 18th-century house in Ireland (Bence-Jones 1988, 286).
