The Conolly Folly is an obelisk structure and National Monument located in County Kildare. It was built at a cost of £400 in 1740 to provide employment for the poor of Celbridge, on foot of Katherine Conolly's philanthopy; it was intended to mark the rear entrance to Castletown house, where and her deceased husband lived. Today it is owned by the OPW and is fenced off from the general public. A rather mysterious structure, it even has a grave underneath it (Mariga Guinness, founder of the Georgian Society).
