The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a low-lying area. Gardenmorris House was rebuilt in the 1920s, having been burnt during the Troubles. The original house was a 17th century building with an 18th century extension, but the house had been largely re-designed as a mansion in the middle of the 19th century. Some of the original building is still extant (Craig and Gardiner 1977, 86). Manning (2012, 144) records that ‘There is also a Shee plaque, dated 1608, in the conservatory at Gardenmorris, Co. Waterford, which is likely to have come from Sheastown (Bence-Jones 1978, 131). The inscription, as visible in the published photograph, reads: 'Insignia Marci Shee fili Richardi Shee equitis aurati . . .' (The arms of Marcus Shee son of Sir Richard Shee ...').’ See WA025-003001-.
