Since its formation in 2006 the Trust has conserved 26 structures, including nine mausolea. These conserved structures range from the O\u2019Brien column beside the cliffs of Moher to a fountain close to Kilkenny, an obelisk near Limavady on the north coast of Ulster and a folly fort and pig crews in County Down. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><strong>Maudlins pyramids<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>The Trust intends to conserve the two pyramid mausolea at Maudlins cemetery, Naas, County Kildare of the Burgh families. Nowhere else in Ireland or Britain \u2018are there two large pyramids in such close proximity\u2019 (Winpenny \u2018<em>Up to a Point\u2019<\/em>).
