Pair of square-profile ashlar limestone piers, erected c. 1840, having carved caps and spur stone. Sweeping walls terminating in lower pair of piers. Roughly dressed limestone masonry walls with limestone cappings.
Appraisal
These ashlar limestone piers form the entrance to the former workhouse. They are finely carved and placed together with a high degree of precision reflecting the quality craftsmanship, which went into their construction.
