Paulstown (Irish: Baile Phóil)[1] (also known as Poulstown or Polestown) is a small village in County Kilkenny in Ireland.

A middle-size house of distinctive appearance reputedly built to designs prepared by William Robertson (1770–1850).

Peter Aylward bought the lands from his wife's family in 1708, and it was rebuilt and set in a formal landscape with a vista to the front and canal to the rear.

In the 19th century, it was enlarged and castellated, serpentine bays added to the canal and an unusual polyhedral sundial given pride of place on a sunken lawn.

[8] These include a Common Lime, a Wellingtonia Giant Sequoia and two Monterey Cypress around Shankill Castle Gardens .

The former N9 - R448 road passes through Gowran, Dungarvan, Thomastown, and further on, just north of Ballyhale the former N10 rejoins the former N9, having proceeded south from Kilkenny.
