It's a shrine beside the road leading into the Sicilian village of Fuctifino.

It's the garage for the Ninkynonk.

Didn't Emerson, Lake & Palmer do a gig there back in the 70s? Or maybe it was Yes, when Roger Dean was doing set design for them ...

Home for the leprichauns who work in the sewage works next door to it

Gottit! It seems to be constructed of mortar and it's on a paved base. I think it's an eco-friendly chicken house and the chickens haven't yet come home to roost.

You can see it on the aerial pictures dating back to March 2008, so the chickens are taking a long time to come home. Also the compound is open at the back, so no protection from predatory foxes.

And what is the function of the shiny superstructure?

There's a Wedge Tomb near Ballyedmonduff in the Dublin Mountains but all the photos show it as being open to the elements.

Weird - I live less than 8km away from that ... thing, but didn't know it was there. On Street View it looks very small, like a henhouse.

That part of Dublin is known as Stepaside, and in addition to "normal" people, it has a few arty weirdos doing the gentleman farmer bit. Plenty of horsey types, and Elvis Costello used to live on that very road (Ballyedmonduff), but sold up after he ran in to trouble over planning permission for a garage for his cars. Maybe that ... thing was his?

Looks like an 'Ice House' to me. Long before the days of 'fridges,they used to build these,facing north,a pit inside they used to fill with ice in the winter.Meat and other perishables were then hung inside in the near freezing temps. :8

Probably made by a 60 something bloke: grey hair, balding, with a pony tail, calls women of a similar age 'chicks' and likes to smoke a 'rollie' of an evening.

Thanks for that local info bnt. If Mr Costello answers to the description given later by Little cloud, then you may have got the answer between you.
It's not surprising you haven't seen the object since it's tucked away up a cul-de-sac.
I only came across it by accident since I was doing some work involving transmitters on 'Three Rock Mountain' and was using GE to have a look round the area. It certainly has a great view over Dublin.

Hmm, yes, this bloke comes to mind. This kind of infernal racket goes on for hours nearly every evening on an otherwise peaceful, relaxing beach in the Canaries. Baby boomers, bah humbug!
