The National Monuments Service's description

St. Mary's Home for the Blind is built on the site of Merrion Castle, the ancestral home of the Fitzwilliam family since the 15th-century. Within the present building complex, a plaque with the Fitzwilliam Coat of Arms has been built into the S gable of a new building called 'Fitzwilliam Hall' on the site of the coach house which had contained this plaque (L 0.33m; Wth 0.44m).
