The Laocoön is an enormous piece of sculpture based on a Greek legend. It was brought from Rome by the 6th Viscount to its current situation at the Chorus Gate in The Italian Garden. It stands on a single piece of granite which was quarried in Glencree. It took two weeks to move this on wooden rollers from Glencree to Powerscourt, with the Head Gardener at the time, Alexander Robertson seated on top issuing instructions!
